    Dear Milton,<br>
    <br>
    sadly, I see that we have diametrically opposed views of the
    potential for politics of a multistakeholder model. It has been
    shown time and time again, in the real world, that concentration of
    powers breeds lack of accountability and an increased risk for
    misuse of such powers.  A more balanced group restores internal
    checks and balances that makes the work of the group more objective.<br>
    <br>
    Simply said, it's the difference between an authoritarian regime vs.
    a democracy. Spread the responsibility/roles and you'll have better
    accountability.<br>
    <br>
    Kindest regards,<br>
    <br>
    Olivier<br>

            everything affects everyone, in some way or another. But the
            strength and directness of the effects vary greatly. Do you
            deny that IANA performance affects registry operators more
            directly, and more materially, than it affects anyone else?
            If it is appropriate for the CSC to be registry-led, why is
            it not also appropriate for a separation process to have
            strong direct customer participation? Chuck is not even
            demanding majority on this entity, just stronger than
            proposed. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

            issue you may not be attuned to is the possibility of
            political games being played. Though I agree that the IFR
            needs to be rooted in the broader MS ICANN community, I also
            recognize that the broader the representation on a committee
            is, the easier it is for its agenda to stray into areas not
            directly related to IANA performance.

            I cringe at this. If the decision for separation is to be
            decided by the IRFT then it will need to be accepted by all
            SOs &amp; ACs &amp; the group needs to be multistakeholder.<br>
            The CSC is already Registry-led, and quite rightly so.
            Separation does not solely affect direct customers. It is
            such a large step, it affects everyone.<br>
