entity” isn’t among them. More generally, as a principle, we should do that we think is best within the criteria, and not try to second-guess what the NTIA wants, or claim to be channeling the inner wishes of the NTIA. That makes for a distorted dialogue.

mind, the NTIA announcement was evidence that they are happy with the current arrangement and how ICANN manages the IANA function – what they have asked the multi-stakeholder community to do is develop a mechanism that replaces the NTIA role in the process,
not ICANN’s.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
