NTIA has made public the IANA contract extension to September 30, 2010. The announcement itself has been back-dated from today or yesterday to last September 1st. No further comment. (http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/domainname/iana.htm)

Still up to 30 months to go!

The TLD operators community has some wishes for operational improvements which can hardly be met with the current institutional arrangement.

But as we comment on the impact of the AoC, there is no primary source (i.e. a specific NTIA or ICANN press release) supporting the fact that the IANA contract has been extended beyond the end of last month (Milton’s words are just his, I did bring his attention to the specific page on NTIA web page where the latest IANA contract extension is absent).

Being reluctant to take the IANA extension for granted based on secondary sources, I find it strange that NTIA, apparently so dedicated to transparency and Internet stability, omits to indicate the current arrangements for the IANA function!
