[governance] New dot com agreement changes USG-ICANN relationship

[Izumi AIZU]

I naiively had thought that USG/DOC has had the ultimate authority
over .com and any other resources, despite, or in addition to ICANN's
authority which is under the mercy of USG anyway with the MoU.

Is there any really new element between DOC and VeriSign to the existing
cooperative agreement?

Does VeriSingh have more "freedom" than before?
Has ICANN really been undermined (looks like)?

Are these change very clear, or subject of interpretation?

Thanks,

izumi
