President's IANA Consultation Committee

Whereas, ICANN's mission is to coordinate, at the overall level, the global Internet's systems of unique identifiers, and in particular to ensure the stable and secure operation of the Internet's unique identifier systems.

Whereas, ICANN strives to carry out its responsibilities in consultation with the DNS Root Server System Advisory Committee (RSSAC) and the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC), and in close cooperation with the technical community.

Whereas, the President and Board, and ICANN's General Manager, IANA, could benefit from the advice of a group knowledgeable about operational issues facing IANA.

Resolved (05.__), the President is directed to appoint a President's IANA Consultation Committee, to be responsible for giving advice to the President and the Board on IANA operations and performance improvement issues.
