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>
