Not quite for address (read: Internet Numbers) policy: First we adopt a global policy that says how the IANA registry should look like. Then we ask the IANA to implement it. So far this has worked perfectly. In the unlikely event that the IANA should not follow global address policy, we currently have to ask the NTIA (part of the US Department of Commerce) to make the IANA comply with global address policy. The NTIA holds the IANA service contract and therefore is the party that can enforce it. NB: The oversight of the US executive branch is with the US legislative and judiciary. The whole discussion about this transition is about what mechanism will replace this contract *should* the NTIA follow through and not extend it. It appears to me that a straightforward replacement in the area of address polict would be for the RIRs to hold the contract. Oversight is already implemented thorough our existing mechanisms of regional and global policy making and implementation. Nothing to it really ..... ;-) Daniel
