Description:
The operational communities (protocol parameters, names, and numbers) that have been invited to submit proposals should determine:
1) whether or not the requirements and deliverables defined in the IANA Functions Contract should be retained, and if so which ones;
2) whether or not additional external controls are necessary for requirements that should be retained; and
3) if additional external controls are necessary, how and by whom they should be administered.
