[governance] Milestone Agreement Reached Between ICANN, and F Root Server Operator, Internet Systems Consortium

[Ian Peter]

Yes, the agreement says very little. Having read this and a few comments, my
take at this stage is...

Suzanne Woolf from ISC is main person responsible at ISC end for this
agreement. Suzanne is an ex ICANN staffer, also active in ICANNS RSSAC (root
server advisory committee)

The primary context is that one of the last remaining tasks under the
memorandum with USG for ICANN is to establish agreements with root server
operators. This has been difficult in the past and remains so - but
completion of this rather benign document does allow ICANN to show some
progress in this area in upcoming talks with USG on the MOU.

Have a look at http://www.icann.org/froot/ICANN-ISC-MRA-26dec07.pdf
and judge for yourself. (The actual MRA wasn't included in the
original announcement, but is up now.)

This is complete FUD.
