Leslie Daigle, Chair of the Internet Architecture Board, to ICANN: "The IAB has noted that the recent settlement with VeriSign, specfically the agreement to transition the root server management, describes some planned actions with respect to the .ARPA domain. As you know, the IAB has joint management responsibilities with ICANN for the .ARPA domain. We therefore agree with the input ICANN has received that the settlement agreement is remiss in failing to provide the IAB an opportunity to review the planned changes in .ARPA management."
