[CWG-Stewardship] My concerns with the draft proposal and an alternative option

[Alan Greenberg]

Malcolm, can you be more specific on what accountability issues are 
critical to a successful transition, presuming that the current CWG 
proposal goes forward?

ICANN would go from one entity, the NTIA, issuing a contract for IANA 
where everyone seems to think that things are working well, to 
another entity (Contract Co.) issuing a contract. What needs to 
change? The whole idea of an entity above ICANN holding the contract 
with the threat of granting it to someone esle seems to be sufficient 
to ensure that IANA is working well.
