> Thanks for pointing out the NCUC meeting and transcript. In the meetings I attended in Singapore, I didn’t see a lot of traction for structural separation of the IANA function of ICANN or for the creation of a new oversight body to replace the NTIA’s oversight
function. But different meetings with different groups bring out different things. I see here that Larry doesn’t want to “put his thumb on the scale” and encourages the debate. I think the NTIA is doing its best to step back and not “coach” the multistakeholder
community. That is a good thing. Nothing is a priori off the table unless expressly stated in the NTIA’s press release and related documents. Whether they will find either in scope at the end of the day, I can’t know for sure, but I’ve expressed my opinion.<o:p></o:p></p>

If ICANN did not follow its defined process, then the DNSA would have a grievance. In this manner, the DNSA watches but does not direct ICANN.<br>
