And you may also be missing the point that it will not be the same story with the contracting entity going forward. At the moment we have not had any reason to worry about the contracting entity. That is likely to change going forward. Like I said, (which was also mentioned by other members) you don't necessarily need to go the contracting route currently presented in order to achieve the ability to move IANA from ICANN when ultimately necessary. We should stop mapping accountability to contracting...it's deceit that does not necessarily build an organisation. A good accountability is that which is built in an organisation...Which puts not just the board in check, but also the community.<br></p>
<p dir="ltr">> A solution that only does your two things above is *worse* than the status quo in respect of accountability.<br>
><br>
IMO those 2 things are the main items. The 3rd one would mainly rest on how well and efficient IANA operates which can be well defined in the SLA... Again these things are already existing. </p>
<p dir="ltr">We need to recognise that IANA operation is currently at the level where almost everything is automated, so if things are going bad, even the non-technical person will notice it. When such is noticed, a mechanism to fix things is what is required.</p>
