Since you ears are opened :<br>
There are some other ways indeed, simply put ICANN in the place it
belongs :<br>
a namespace service providers among other ones... <br>
ie opening the competition to DNS services.<br>
<br>
I Can ( monopoly ) --> We can ( competition )<br>
<br>
For sure, as the phone business,<br>
ICANN, the "historic" namespace service provider would remain for
years<br>
the main player, but the clock in cybertime is running fast. <br>
<br>
What I am all ears is about concrete proposals of multistakeholders
governance within<br>
the new DNS<i> classes</i>, learning from the flaws of ICANN.<br>
The governance models could be diverse and adapted to each<i> class</i>.<br>
<br>
Bla bla should be avoided as well as declarations of noble principles<br>
everybody agrees upon, but that takes all the bandwidth required <br>
for an effective discussion. <br>
<br>
What is needed are effecient mechanisms with a sound legal basis,<br>
not with a mixed brew of corporate and governement "memos" <br>
and "agreements".<br>
I did propose sometimes ago the UNMSP scheme.<br>
