Sorry but I disagree. While I recognized that the IANA contract provides 
another leverage that could be used to get some form of external 
accountability framework established, I don't see why this implies that 
one should the JPA expire just like that. I firmly believe that external 
accountability is necessary for ICANN, and I havn't changed my mind on 
that. The fact that the US industry has other reasons to opt for an 
extension also won't change my mind.
