[governance] WGEC: Questionnaire on internet governance

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

I seem to have both mixed up here.

However Jeremy - there's some parts of your response to question 8 on appropriate mechanisms which are a bit strange.

ICANN to get oversight from a "techno political" board drawn from different geographies - to replace the DoC mandate - and effectively become an agency by itself (under the vienna convention? that's the typical framework where a host country agreement for an international organization would be defined)

There isn't much rationale presented here for how this becomes different from bringing ICANN under UN control, to be honest.  "Practical likelihood of it being at least loosely linked with the UN" is kind of a massive understatement if you ask me.
