What are you cringing at Olivier? The separation review would be done by the IFRT with full community involvement. The IFRT would not be led or controlled by registries; they would just have a significant role. I will say it again: the IFRT is M-S.

I simply said that the IFRT composition should have stronger participation of ccTLD and gTLD registries than is proposed currently. If the IFRT is doing a separation review, it is more important than ever for there to be strong direct customer participation. I fully agree that IFRT must be M-S. I cringe at this. If the decision for separation is to be decided by the IRFT then it will need to be accepted by all SOs & ACs & the group needs to be multistakeholder. The CSC is already Registry-led, and quite rightly so. Separation does not solely affect direct customers. It is such a large step, it affects everyone. Kindest regards, Olivier
