Hi,

Just a minor point that may be relevant to the IANA transition discussions:

NTIA's role has been one of oversight, ensuring that ICANN (including ICANN's 
Board) has acted according to their published policies and processes.  That is, 
NTIA provided assurance (to some at least, including many governments even if 
they would not say so publicly) that ICANN couldn't run amok and scribble all 
over a resource upon which the entire Internet relied.

Whether this oversight remains necessary and, if so, by whom and how it should 
be done is probably relevant to the IANA transition.

Regards,

sometimes not even that)
