[ga] Re: reeling in ICANN?

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

All remaining assembly members,

  The following is a post from the Domain Policy list
that I am resending to the DNSO GA for informational
purposes along with my response...

  Thank you for providing this interesting information.  I am sure it
will be reviewed with great interest.  I would also add the letter
to which you provided the URL below also states the following:

1.whether the delegation of authority over the
  domain name system (DNS) from the
  Department of Commerce (DOC) to ICANN is
  legal;
2.whether ICANN is the appropriate body to
   manage the DNS;
3.whether ICANN has performed well.

=========  end of additional excerpt =========

It would seem to me that #1 is not really all that important or
really in question.  But #'s 2 and 3, are indeed being questioned
on a global basis as time goes on...
