The Internet Architecture Board (IAB) statement on the IANA Stewardship Transition released on Wednesday: “Our assessment, as the oldest technical community using the IANA functions, is that the transition plan is fit for purpose and that the IANA stewardship transition should go forward as planned on September 30, 2016. ... We note that recent attention to the transition has sometimes engendered misunderstandings about the nature of the existing system.  Some have presumed that the effort is one that relates to control of Internet infrastructure, speech, content, or security.  None of those are within the purview of IANA staff.”
