[governance] NTIA says ICANN "does not meet the requirements" for IANA renewal

[Riaz K Tayob]

That was some magical realism in the link, thanks for that post...

to take this matter forward, especially since CSO platforms have the 
tendency to go toward the lowest common denominator in the quest for 
broad agreement, in another framing... that of sharpening contradictions

Would it be possible to say that (apart from fence sitters, not 
pejorative at all) it would be possible to divide the community here 
into those who at different levels of abstraction have different views 
based on:

1. Technical possibility of another root (ay or nay)
2. Social possibility/desirability of another root (ay or nay: factors 
like legitimacy, need, competition etc)
3. Technosocial possibility of a root (all of the above holistically)

It just seems like the same worn out issues get turned out on Ruling the 
Root (not feasible/desirable technically or socially) and perhaps things 
would be much easier if some flags were tied to the mast to see if there 
is a possibility for deeper alliances on this... if there is a need as 
reform and radicalism in the American context in particular has a 
special hue...
