Tony and all,

All the same issues remain... ICANN has just delayed their appropriate
resolution (and that is, indeed, a shame).


The problem with ICANN is that it created more
problems than it solved.  Perhaps it's legacy
will be that it forced people to consider what
the Internet did and didn't need.  With ICANN
out of the way, it whittles things down to the
essential requirements.

  ALthough in part, what you say here is indeed a likely
correct evaluation.  Only history will be able to determine
that however.  ICANN thus far, and I say thus far, as it is
not yet clear that the ICANN is out of business YET, has
basically followed the IAHC/Gtld-MoU initiative, and as such
is faltering as a result.  But much more importantly, IMHO, it
is a question of the actual leadership, or therefore the
ICANN (Initial?) Interim Board itself.  It's members are/were(?) just
not competent...
 

These would seem to include:

1) funding someone part time at ISI or CNRI
to maintain the protocol registry files.

2) some coordination mechanism among the
regional IP registries that involves the
ISPs.

3) some independent corporation to run a set
of DNS servers and maintain a root zone file
that also allows new TLDs to be entered.

These are pretty separate functions that
just about anybody could do.

Anything else being missed?
