I can only hope that we will fix this once and for all by introducing mechanisms within the organisation that keeps both the community and board accountable instead of creating new layer of politics which i will call open i-stakeholder in disguise.

Going forward the entity of the status quo is changing and it's changing to an unpredictable/complicated setup. We have not had any reason to worry about the entity of current status quo because they are predictable. Also the current entity was wise enough to have always awarded to ICANN, why then is need to introduce an overreaching structure just to enable ability to move (something that may never be exercised).

That is, in essence, you think ownership of these should pass through to ICANN? (The CWG proposal is that they remain owned by the multistakeholder community, of which ICANN is only a part.)

As a member of the community, I will like to see a process existing within ICANN that ensures that the operation of IANA is done solely by community developed policy.

On a lighter note, I think we should stop creating different definitions of multistakeholder community, i am only concerned about a community that is open, with a process that is inclusive and I think that can be achieved within ICANN.

Thanks.

Cheers!
