[governance] FBI, DEA, IPv6 & ICANN

[c.a.]

Thanks for the detailed info, John. However, predating does not mean they are not under Icann oversight - as the very core mission of Icann states. In any case, I continue to believe Icann is the proper space for directing my question, malgré the lack of response - btw, I have copied my concern to Lacnic's policy discussion lists at almost tlhe same time I directed the question to the Icann board.
