Agree Lesley, that we should re-evaluate the timeline in light of this. But what has happened cannot be un-happened and I fear there are some irresolvable differences in perspectives that have arisen. Cheers Keith On 7/05/2015 10:15 a.m., Lesley Cowley wrote:
I suggest that the NTIA letter posted just now may be helpful. It states that “We have never viewed the September 30 date as a deadline, but have stated from the start that the transition planning should proceed according to whatever schedule the community sets”
Accordingly, I think we should set a different deadline if it is apparent that the current one is creating all sorts of problems.
Cheers,
Lesley

I am becoming increasingly concerned about the road that the IANA transition is taking, and in particular, the fundamental issue of Accountability.
I, as have other council members, have had the privilege on working with Dr Lisse on the Delegation WG and the Framework of Interpretation. Under Keith's chairmanship we fully explored and respected differing viewpoints, and did not need to resort to ad hominem complaints at any time.

The working groups I chaired were fortunate to not have hard deadlines, and allowed us the luxury of exploring and teasing out issues from all participants and respondents to the consultations.
Sadly, the TLD community has not had this luxury and has been battling a ridiculous timeline on the IANA transition.
Cheers
