[discuss] shifts in IANA/accountability discussion: your thoughts?

[Bertrand de La Chapelle]

Avri,

Irrespective of who is giving the "mandate", if we draw a line between full
complete rebidding at regular intervals (every X years) and contract in
perpetuity, there are various options in between.

Isn't the fundamental choice here around what is the default option, a
little bit like the opt-in / opt out choice in many other issues, ie
roughly:
- either the mandate dropping at regular intervals unless it is explicitly
reconducted
- the mandate continuing by default unless it is cancelled because of
mis-functioning
