...certainly would be remarkable and very much welcomed. Especially if the Internet Society of China is synonymous with or speaks for the government of the PRC.....or, more importantly, the CP! Notice the terms of its involvement and approval; EQUAL 'participation right, information right, supervision right'......

Nice to know China is steadfast in its support of the multi-stakeholder model, key paras:
Thirdly, according to C3.1 to C3.3 of the IANA contract, ICANN only submit
reports to U.S government alone which authorizes the process to modify, add and delete the entries in root zone files. Because of such constraints,as well as ICANN, as a private incorporation in California, should comply with the California law. It is difficult for ICANN to implement an open, fair process and be responsive to all the other governments and stakeholders. As a result, the accountability and transparency of ICANN can not be enhanced to meet the vision of multi-stakeholder governance model. Internet Society of China is of the opinion that the relevant arrangements should be reconsidered.
Fourthly, as the multi-stakeholder model of Internet governance has beening gradually taking shape, Internet Society of China believe that all stakeholders should equally be endowed with the participation right, information right and supervision right over IANA function to ensure that the accountability and transparency of IANA-related decision-making is recognized by all stakeholders.
