[discuss] Roadmap for globalizing IANA

[Joseph Alhadeff]

It would be helpful for the proponents of the proposal then not dismiss out our hand any criticisms as uninformed or a root cause of not having read the proposal... A large number of people of have raised oversight and separation of duties as questions not sufficiently answered.   Repeating the same dismissal of those concerns as uninformed because there is a contract and it is inconceivable that 100 separate entities could ever be aligned in their own self interest is not helpful.  If you want a fair hearing you have to give one too.  This list was meant to facilitate an exchange of ideas not their imposition by a war of attrition of who can post more messages.  We would substantially increase list participation if we would all recall that.

I believe politically for USG to relinquish its control is that it is somehow still involved in the oversight. But if USG is involved, then we get another big elephant in the room "Which other government should be involved?"
