I can not tell if that is that a flippant dismissal or a serious answer.

If it is a joke, it fails to amuse.

If it is an answer it is an answer that ought to cause great concern and 
raise the question whether ICANN is on a path of reckless and negligent 
disregard for the reliable provision of DNS services to internet users.

Are we to perceive that ICANN is to the internet as FEMA was to New Orleans?

There is no doubt that ICANN is leaving internet users - people and 
businesses - at risk of service discontinuities on the net.

Perhaps ICANNites feel that just because ICANN has already spent seven 
years of failure to meet its original promise that it need not do so now 
and that even discussion of that abandonment is to be belittled and 
dismissed?

The DNS may not wobble this week or even next year, but if it does are 
we going to be hearing ICANN sounding some stoned dude: "not my job, man"?
