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.

Dear Chuck,

I did not say that IFRT should be largely composed of ccTLD and gTLD registries.  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
