IANA Program

Purpose

The background for the IANA program is IANA functions for the Internet
and the IETF, as specified in the IANA MoU (RFC2860) and related
agreements between stakeholders.

The program acts as a think-tank and, when needed, advises the IAB on
IANA-related strategic issues and provides information about any
potentially relevant developments in the ecosystem that might affect
IANA. Program members have also assisted in following the publicly
available IANA performance statistics, reviewed specific issues,
review proposed SLA updates, and similar topics, as an input to the
entities that own those issues.

However, the program is not responsible for daily operational
guidance, and does not have any formal role in contracts relating to
the IANA functions.

Work Items

The group focuses on the following high-level work items and responsibilities:

  * Tracking the developments surrounding the IANA functions and their use in the Internet ecosystem
  * Responding to specific developments and information requests on this topic
