If we really do solve the accountability and administrative issues related to ICANN and IANA in a manner that is widely accepted (admittedly a stretch, but it works for a thought experiment), then that is off the agenda. What�s next on the �Internet governance� agenda, and why? Do the venues for those discussions change, or not? Does the label by which we refer o those discussions change, or not?
