The Internet Multicasting Service (Carl Malamud, Chairman)..."Would Like to Bid to Run IANA"...

======

Mention of the 128-bit DNS does not seem to be included. With 128-bit DNS, the need for "the IANA function"
largely disappears because the 16-bit Port number can be included in the 128-bit AAAA records. With the current
32-bit A records, there is no room for the 16-bit Port number. In many cases, it is now almost implied to be 80 for
the http protocol. That becomes more dynamic with 128-bit DNS, because both parties client-server, or GK-PK
can more easily change the protocol values via the AAAA records. With many parties changing the values, the need
for "the IANA function" diminishes, because software will be used at both ends to make sure there is compatibility.
A human element in the middle is not needed, or desired. There are numerous other unique values on the InterNAT
which are selected by industry collaboration, defacto processes, etc. With 128-bit DNS and AAAA records, that
process will be opened up to the free-market place.

I am sure that people will be able to discuss this more on Wednesday...
