While I am not as well versed in these issues and their history of
some of the more frequent commentators, it would seem that
accountability is often benefited by and predicated on a separation
of duties in oversight. The new organization seems to rely on
self-interested parties having an alignment of interest with the
public good as opposed to the more traditional concept of separation
of duties/interest in oversight. Am I missing the checks and
balances?<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Second, both
contracts contain serious accountability measures. However
wrongly conceived the idea of unilateral U.S. oversight
is, how do we ensure that the root zone is managed
properly and what is the recourse if the root zone
managers are either negligent, incompetent or corrupt?
What do you replace the IANA contract with?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The reason
for a DNSA is that registries have the strongest incentive
to get root zone management right. It is their data that
the root zone contains. To ensure impartial administration
we create a nondiscriminatory right to own DNSA to all
registries? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Very
different. ICANN is for making policy. It involves
representation of diverse stakeholders and a complicated
process for developing consensus on policy and approval by
the board. DNSA is for operations. Most people I have
talked to agree that we need to keep those things
separate. So, we separate them<o:p></o:p></span></p>
