A co passenger on the Washington DC Metro remarked that Washington DC metro is far less efficient in making design improvements and in effecting upgrades. The top job was vacant for over 7 years before 2011, and vacant again since February 2015 with all leading candidates withdrawn. Plans to extend the metro have not progressed in 6 or 7 years. This co passenger said that it was all because of the complex oversight of the Metro. The *Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority* (*WMATA*), commonly referred to as *Metro*, is a tri-jurisdictional government agency that operates transit service in the Washington Metropolitan Area <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Metropolitan_Area>. WMATA was created by the United States Congress <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Congress> as aninterstate compact <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_compact> between the District of Columbia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C.>, the State of Maryland <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland>, and the Commonwealth of Virginia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia>. Trijurisdictional Government Agency with several subcommittees that requires the Directors / Representatives of the Federal Government and two state governments to agree on budget and other management decisions. It is perhaps due to this complications that the Metro, in comparison with other Pubic Transport Authorities in other US cities, is less efficient in its management, slow to make decisions and somewhat stagnant in its expansion. ICANN Accountability discussions have made commendable progress during the last 18 months, but seek to introduce some new measures in the way ICANN is governed. Some of the new processes, such as change in budgetary process may have to be considered with the caution that greater complexities may compromise on the efficiency with which ICANN makes decisions.
