As I have stated several times, my position has to do with the
accountability of the holder of the IANA contract, no matter who has
it. I can think of NO better mechanism to guarantee that ANY
holder of such a contract is accountable other than the threat of
withdrawing the contract. Just as the NTIA or IETF can do. It is
a clean simple mechanism and no one has suggested anything simpler,
cleaner or more workable. For me that is one of the absolute
requirements and has nothing to do with ICANN.<br>

Again I believe my SG is behind this view.<br>
