[JFC Morfin]

Dear Wolfgang,

However I disagree with the ultimate target ...

because we are not confronted to a semi 
democratic multistakhoderic but to a necessarily 
polycratic omnistakeholderic global network issue,

I certainly agree with this.

Yes.

The processus is correct if no topic and no 
response is blocked. In any case a common and 
clear thematic reference grid will have been worked out.

 From this I infer that the matter is open, yet 
also Internet centered. This only addresses half 
of the pending issues. The other half, which are 
at the origin of the current transition is the 
insertion of the internet issues within a quickly expending digitality.

This is an acceptable framework. I note FYI that:

1. I may delay the IETF contributive RFC by my appeal that will reach ISOC.
2. The reason of this appeal is the dillution of 
the ICANN accountability to IAB through 
technology conformance and IANA. This leads to an 
accountability by coopetition (along the RFC 6852 
paradigm), at least with the Free/Libre community.

However, the result should only a formal 
clarification/affirmation of the IAB/IETF position.

It should therefore
1. not affect the framework and help the proposed process.
2. lead to a debate on two missing chapters of the book:
     - (sub)structural description of the cyberspace
     - cyberspace accountability framwork
