<abstract>
<t>The U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Administra
tion (NTIA) solicited a request from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names
and Numbers (ICANN) to propose how the NTIA should end its oversight of the Int
ernet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions. After broad consultations, I
CANN in turn created the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group. That g
roup solicited proposals for the three major IANA functions: names, numbers, and
protocol parameters. This document contains the IETF response to that solicita
tion for protocol parameters. It was included in an aggregate response to the N
TIA alongside those for names and numbering resources that are being developed b
y their respective operational communities. A reference to that response may be
found in the introduction, and additional correspondence is included in the App
endix.</t>
