Now the section above makes it look like the communities
accountability mechanism concerns is all about the oversight
transition which is not the case. One would expect that the current
mechanisms (which is to address both the transition and ICANN
operations) will be put on hold in its totality until after the 21days
comment period.

Its like saying; move on with the car but will drop the extra-tire
with the community for review. The fact is that the driver/component
of the car needs to be reviewed before it moves.

Cheers!
