<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hello James,<br><br>Thanks for the share, did i hear someone still with the view that there is no political side to the oversight? ;)<br><br></div>However irrespective of whether the oversight gets finally transitioned or not. I think ICANN should still attempt to improve on its internal accountability process. Perhaps in preparation for the future.<br>
