[CCWG-ACCT] Keeping the momentum in favor of IANA

[John Laprise]

I can only concur in part with the message. I strongly support the
transition and agree that many communities are strongly behind it.
Unfortunately the belated deployment of the #yestoiana only five days ago
speaks to the fact that while all of us knew that the US Congess would need
to eventually sign off on it, little effort was put into speaking to end
users (and American voters). We thus find ourselves facing off against the
rhetoric of ignorance led by Sen Ted Cruz and Donald Trump.
