I believe that it was driven by the lack of trust in ICANN, and that there may well be ways to ensure that ICANN does not violate the MS trust.

As I have stated several times, my position has to do with the accountability of the holder of the IANA contract, no matter who has it. I can think of NO better mechanism to guarantee that ANY holder of such a contract is accountable other than the threat of withdrawing the contract. Just as the NTIA or IETF can do. It is a clean simple mechanism and no one has suggested anything simpler, cleaner or more workable. For me that is one of the absolute requirements and has nothing to do with ICANN.

Again I believe my SG is behind this view.
