[discuss] Roadmap for globalizing IANA

Hi John - sorry if I was being pedantic :-)

I would answer 'yes' -  in which case the hypothetical question, as you've
accurately stated,  becomes 'how will DNSA determine which body will best
represent the interest of the (single) Internet DNS community?'

In answering this question, wouldn't DNSA be making a value judgment
regarding how Internet related public policies are to be made? And is that
not, by its very definition, a policy function?

Regards,
Vinay
