IETF-IANA Program

Purpose

The background for the IETF-IANA program is IANA functions for the
Internet and the IETF, as specified in the IANA MoU (RFC2860) and
related agreements between stakeholders. At the IETF, the formal
responsibility for the relationship lies at the IAB that is tasked
with IANA oversight and the LLC that is tasked with managing the
contracts. Today, the IANA function is provided by Public Technical
Identifiers (PTI), a purpose-built organization for providing the IANA
functions to the community. PTI is an affiliate of ICANN.

The program is an informal think-tank that organizes regular meetings
to provide advice to the IAB, IETF LLC, and PTI and ICANN on topics it
reviews.  The program is expected to review the publicly available
IANA performance statistics, discuss specific issues that have come up
in the protocol parameter service, provide input on proposed yearly
updates to the IANA Functions SLA, or any other similar topics.

However, the program is not responsible for daily operational
guidance, and does not have any formal role in contracts relating to
the IANA functions. The advice that it provides is input to the
relevant entities that perform IANA functions, provide oversight (the
IAB) or contract with the PTI (the LLC).
