[governance] IANA contract to be opened for competitive bidding on November 4

[Nyangkwe Agien Aaron]

Lous Pouzin asked

" What international agreement allows the USG to make unilateral decisions on
the management of a common good?"

Reply by the undersigned on June 03, 1997

"We need to accept responsibility for America's unique role in
preserving and extending an international order friendly to our
security, our prosperity, and our principles.
Such a Reaganite policy of military strength and moral clarity may not
be fashionable today. But it is necessary if the United States is to
build on the successes of this past century and to ensure our security
and our greatness in the next century"
