[CCWG-ACCT] [ccTLDcommunity] ICANN transition

[Paul Twomey]

One pattern which has played out between ICANN, the RIRS, and IETF and 
even some ccTLDs over the last years has been whenever new 
organisational strucutures are discussed (eg the formation of the ASO) a 
logical consideration by the technical body pushes for a 'we must have a 
let-out clause to give the function to someone else in case there is 
failure' which gets heard at ICANN as a form of searching for 
leverage/extortion over ICANN so that it is not be able to do its job 
independently.   Both parties tend to look at the issue and their 
responsibilites with good faith - but the push and response gets heard 
differently on each side.

I wonder if we are hearing echoes of a replay of this pattern.
