We agree. But...a contract with whom? Who is the counter-party?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Good question and that is why Era of contract needs to end. As i alluded to in the past, the need for a contract was clear and the purpose has been achieved; ICANN has grown from being a toddler to a young adult, now it can grow on its own. <br>
<br></div><div>What is required is for the community to draft xyz guidelines, ICANN management should agree to abide by those xyz guideline and if for some reason, ICANN does not abide by them, the community initiate a resolution abc that states how to resolve the issue at hand. The resolution process abc can be implemented by an independent consortium of interest group<br>
