�Tony,
It seems to me that actually NSI has 'nothing' except an informally granted
extension to an expired 5 year contract from the USG. So it is vital to NSI
as well that a Registry/Registrar system is set up and consolidated.
Otherwise they could lose everything by losing the Registry contract. This
way they at least hedge their bets.
And though the DNS works fine, access to it and support for it is seriously
skewed.�

ICANN presently has nothing - and may at most acquire
single root zone file - to the extent that those running
DNS servers chose to point to it.
The DNS works fine right now.� To the extent ICANN has
any value-add, it's in doing the same thing the Jon did -
facilitating coherent cooperation.�� ...and that's not
control.
