Nigel,

I am not sure any longer whether he is just intransigent or whether
he has taken instructions.

The CWG has not addressed, AT ALL, administrative and/or operational
accountability the IANA function, they have worked from the premise
that all is hunky dory.

Moving (the) IANA (Function) to voodo-cuckoo-land was not what you
asked about, nor does it address anything, never what the CWG has
managed to come down with.

And we are not doing any better. But the gNSO is goig to be happy,
that's important.
