@McTim,

True, ICANN says more else the same thing; but think about it, maybe ICANN says what we  ask it to say and they reflect our thoughts and aspirations.  That is the nature of a multistakeholder, bottom up organisation that ICANN is.

walu.
nb: also refer to my original message and you will see that I never claimed exclusive rights to these comments. I simply digested the same for the local community.

Wambua,

I wont make it for the meeting but plse register my comment on the above as follows:

1. No single government should have oversight powers over IANA functions(core operational functions of the Internet).



That's what the original White Paper said...it's just 20 years later now.

NB: IANA functions are administrative, not operational.




 

2. It is therefore best that the US government relinquishes oversight powers over the IANA function in a progressive manner i.e. by moving its relationship with ICANN over IANA function from the current "Contractual" agreement to a "Cooperation" agreement locally known as an MOA and eventually an non-legal agreement sometimes known as an MoU


that's what ICANN says too:
