                  I think that NTIA divesting itself of the IANA
                  authority is a very good thing. However, withdrawal of
                  direct executive control over the root zone is hardly
                  enough. The root zone should be free from all legal
                  and legislative controls of any one country, including
                  any possibility of unilateral application any such
                  control in the future. This is the single most
                  important issue with regard to determining where
                  should the IANA authority now vest. <br clear="none">
                  <br clear="none">
                  The reason I consider the NTIA transition process to
                  be a sham is that its framing of the IANA issue is
                  deliberately misleading. It misleadingly declares IANA
                  'function' to be  a merely clerical one. This is such
                  an affront to the global community which knows very
                  well that for the last 15 years or so the single most
                  prominent geopolitical issue in global Internet
                  governance has been the issue of a single country's
                  oversight of the Internet, representing in its IANA
                  authority.<br clear="none">
                  <br clear="none">
                  How can this major political issue be rendered as a
                  clerical and technical issue by a simple sleigh of
                  hand. This to me is in fact cheating. <br clear="none">
                  <br clear="none">
                  However, the IANA process is being able to fool only
                  those who are ready or even eager to be fooled. It
                  does not actually take away one of the major global IG
                  issues from the table. We all know that IANA authority
                  will now be handed over to ICANN. Yes, US leaving the
                  executive control over IANA is good. However, ICANN
                  cannot be left politically unsupervised. (In fact, US
                  jurisdiction will continue to undertake ICANN's
                  political/ legal oversight.) ICANN should be
                  incorporated under international law, giving it full
                  immunity from US jurisdiction, and be put under clear
                  rules based oversight of an appropriate global body,
                  which need not be typical inter-governmental.<br clear="none">
                  <br clear="none">
                  And, yes, people have given specific institutional
                  models to achieve this. See for instance the
                  submission of Just Net Coalition to NetMundial at <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" href="http://content.netmundial.br/contribution/democratising-global-governance-of-the-internet/164" target="_blank">http://content.netmundial.br/contribution/democratising-global-governance-of-the-internet/164</a>

                  institutional roadmap.  <br clear="none">

My suspicion is that this will be a hard sell for a variety of reasons, however the first step is to actually come up with a proposal that resolver operators (not politicians) might look at and decide if they want to play along.

                  <pre>As far as I can tell, NTIA and the various folks involved in the transition appear to be are quite serious about wanting to remove NTIA from its current role. I'm unsure why you would consider it a 'sham' unless of course you're accusing the transition participants of not pursuing your personal view of the transition. If that is indeed the case, then I suspect the problem does not really lie with them.
