[discuss] Opportunity for input on the development process for IANAoversight transition plan

[Seun Ojedeji]

Hello Nick,

I was hoping to read from you. Perhaps I should further clarify my point.
While I acknowledge your suggestion as a better way to address conflict of
interest. I also think that those who will form member of the external
review team will in one way or the other belong to either of those
concerned especially considering the topic at hand (which is global and
applicable to everyone). If the external team is an organisation then there
is also a possibility of that organisation belonging to business
stakeholder...etc
Nevertheless, i think it's good to note that none of the options is perfect
and I think ICANN should apply options that is as  transparent as possible
and also within budget (although on a second thought, budget may not be a
major issue since it's an assigned task. Perhaps NTIA will be involved in
offsetting those bills. So we won't have registries complaining of ICANN
spending their money on external multi-stakeholder stuffs :))
