[CWG-Stewardship] NTIA's Role in Root Zone Management

[Jordan Carter]

Giving both the right to operate the IANA functions, and the responsibility
for operating the Root Zone, to the same entity would be far worse in
respect of accountability and creating a new massively centralised power
structure in Internet Governance than even the current idea of simply
transferring IANA to ICANN in perpetuity.

I cannot fathom how anyone who believes in distributed Internet governance
can even contemplate such an idea. But I am a relative newcomer. Can
someone who supports such a notion explain it?
