</div>What I think is critical is that it remain a contract for the function<br>
that can be reviewed and given to another if necessary, for some<br>
definition of necessary.<br>
<br>
For now, of course i agree it needs to stay with ICANN, but there should<br>
be periodic reviews and contract renewals if merited. I think we can<br>
even discuss a presumption of renewal based on good performance, for<br>
some definition of good performance.<br>
<br>
What I believe is a non-starter for many, is a contract for the function<br>
in perpetuity. But certainly the next 2 years at least should be ok -<br>
that should be enough time to get a proper review process in place post<br>
transition.<br>
