<br>What matters is working on the post masquerianade. Let the USG mickey-mousing with ICANN for their own use. The internet is working just the same without it. After all it's their sovereign right, ICANN is a californian company. Let's build a coalition with interested UN institutions and NGO's. There is plenty of experience and expertise for designing a framework based on democratic citizens empowerment, instead of GAFAs.<br>

Yes, it is a forgone conclusion. Although it will be arrived at
through a convoluted path to give the pretence that it is the global
public that wants it this way. A 'global public' conveniently
re-christened as 'global multistakeholder community' to give some
credence to the mentioned captive 'convoluted path' to arrive at
this forgone conclusion. 'Public' you know is a dangerous word. You
cant be sure who all can turn up in the name of 'public' and begin
making what kinds of demands! 'Multistakeholder community' is a much
more controllable political space/ concept. <br>
<br>
Sorry for the cynical sounding statement, but each element of the
IANA transition (non) puzzle points to this elementary fact. If
asked, I can elaborate. I am not doing so right away because I think
it is just too obvious..<br>
