[apnic-talk] RE: [APIA-MEMBERS] RE: White Paper follow up
Hello Everyone,
Reality check - IANA is not currently a legal entity. If it was, they would
be sewed. This is the #1 problem with the actually create of IANA. How to
transition from a US government contract to a group that has broad consensus
and will not get bogged down or blasted out if existence as it's born from
law suits.
