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

[Ian Peter]

Hi Ronald,

At my last count there were over 140 countries, and I would expect them all
to have the opportunity to be involved. That¹s why involving the UN makes a
lot of sense.

famously said words to the British along the lines of "we would rather have
our own poor government than your very good government". I think that
applies here, and indeed getting rid of the USG contract might just be a
catalyst for some ICANN improvements and better levels of involvement.


In other words.you'd rather let China and Russia dictate "our own poor
government" than continue to put up with "very good government" by the US ?
Really ?
