If I may edit Avri:

"we, aka the stakeholders all and sundry, have [3] years to figure out how...responsibility for this bit of oversight [can] safely migrate elsewhere."

As there's nothing to convince NTIA about, if there is a not a solid proposal on the global table.

All and sundry might then hope, within 4 years of effort, to convince NTIA of its merits.

A faster timetable is possible, if a solid proposal is developed within a year, and NTIA is convinced that is the case within 2 more years of administratively proper proceedings soliciting everyone's input on same.  That ICANN, ISOC, and the RIRs are all on the record favoring a shift helps, but is not sufficient.

The accelerated schedule however is not particularly likely given global Internet multistakeholder deliberation speeds. In my always humble opinion.

Hi,

What it also says to me is that we, aka the stakeholders all and sundry, have between 3-7 years to figure out how to convince NTIA that they can safely allow the responsibility for this bit of oversight to migrate elsewhere.

or

A name indicates what the thing we seek is being called in this instance or ...
An address indicates where something that may actually only have care of info, is located or ...
A route tends to be how we got there since we rarely know a-priori (not that much strict source routing around) or ...

every time i read your sig, i
a) remember Jon fondly - he was so very nice to me as a new IETF participant in ~1990, and
b) realize how much more complex things are these days,
