>4.1 The Creation of the International Internet Commission
>
>  IANA is the organization currently holding the task of regulating
>  Top Level Domain Names. In days gone by a small, informal group
>  acting with the trust of a relatively small internet community could
>  handle most TDL business quite adequately. With the massive on rush of
>  global interest and participation this is no longer the case. IANA must
>  be dissolved and a much more public, democratic, UN Chartered organization
>  - the international Internet Commission - set up in it's place.
>
>  Within six months from the acceptance of this RFC IANA will be dis-
>  banded. Previous to that date an International Internet Commission
>  founding convention will be convened. This convention will occur
>  monthly til the turn-over. It's members will be drawn from UN member
>  governments, Internet businesses, Internet User Groups, Civil and
>  Human Rights organizations and interested others. All meetings will
>  be held in public and all documents wil be presented electronically
>  to everyone.
>
>  This convention will:
>
>  a) Write a constitution and bylaws pursuant to the
>     the UN Declaration on Human Rights entrenching
>     democratic due process, regular elections, terms
>     of office, conditions for recall and impeachment etc.
>
>  b) Eliminate all direct or hidden funding from national
>     governments or military and intelligence departments
>     thereof and  corporations or organizations except for
>     license fees to IIC for TLD holdings services. Ancilary
>     funding for the IIC through the UN will be arranged as
>     well
>
>  c) establish a central, global location outside the United
>     States in a nuetral, democratic nation. I suggest TORONTO.

>   4.1. Delegation
>
>      The International Internet Commission (IIC) will be responsible
>      for the overall coordination and management of the Domain Name
>      System (DNS), and especially the delegation of portions of the
>      name space called top-level domains. Most of these top-level
>      domains are two-letter country codes taken from the ISO standard
>      3166.
>
>      The International Internet Commission (IIC) will be responsible
>      for IP number allocation and other international regulatory
>      issues.
>
>      Internet Registries (IR) are selected and designated to handled
>      the bulk of the day-to-day administration of the Domain Name
>      System. Applications for new top-level domains are handled by
>      the Internet DNS Names Review Board (IDNB), a committee to be
>      established by the IIC.
>
>      The application process to create a new TLD is described in
>      another memo. The following policy applies to all TLDs.
