Okay don't mind my legal illiteracy, does this mean incoporation under a body like UN? how does/will this work in a normal circumstances; How does the registration of a company name work when a country is not the source of registration?

International incorporation either follows a new treaty, or can be under the UN....

Okay so you are referring to a separate body that does what NTIA currently does? If i may ask, why do you really think you could trust this new body that will oversight on ICANN; who will oversight this new body you propose?

That 'how will you trust'  question can be asked in an infinite regress. To break such logics, in political systems, oversight is built through division of power - those who have raw executive power get overseen by others, who are unlikely to be swayed by the former's interests, and act per clearly laid out rules, and by themselves do not have any or much executive power. In India, for instance, the President has oversight over the parliamentary system and the cabinet (including the prime minister), but in fact the President is considered much less powerful that the prime minister, and it is often a  job given to senior politicians who have to be retired respectably.... Just making the point that oversight does not necessarily means superior power, if the division of power is done well, and there are well laid out rules, and judicial oversight.

The board has oversight on the organization. Seats on the board is filled by various SO/AC and also by external people who are not affiliated with various SO/AC(nomcom selected members). So my point was that there is already some level of external oversight by the virtue of board's composition.

As argued in the article, the so called ICANN community is largely inbred, has a very narrow base, and the interests of power and career movements within the system, and in allied systems, are often shared and inter-mingled to an extent that it does not at all make a good model for internal oversight... Separation of oversight from executive power is needed across groups that do not intersect and intermingle in the way this inbred community does. And becuase of these closely shared interests and perspectives they have developed strong inclusion-exclusion boundaries, which would become even stronger in a free floating ICANN without oversight....This is a fault , to use the term again, with infinite regress logic, which in absence of external oversight will keep becoming worse all the time..

Happy to clarify further if needed... parminder



My article is quite specific, for the 1400 words that I had.... In fact it is your response to it that requires specifics, and seems to be too vague. What exactly 'representing both internal and external' and 'community' mean?

I hope my responses above now helps

Regards

Best, parminder
