It's been pointed out that the note to DoC was actually sent by

Obviously, the timescale of this RFI was too short for the
IETF as a whole to debate a response. In fact, it was even too short
for us to spot this nit.
Or to run a spell checker? It would have been better to not answer
instead of doing such a haphazard job. This was not an effective
document either in terms of process or substance.
Dear Carl,
the problem is that IETF and IAB do not want to accept the real world.

I strongly support this move by china. t is about time that IANA
recognize the obvious - open up the root. This is a good start. China is
quick to learn the technological trap they have fallen into. They need
ICANN as much as ICANN needs them. It also shows a very interesting
simularity to what happened at the Public-Root. There we had Turey as our
partner - like the chinese - not the best of human rights partners but
partners non the less brougt together through necessitty.
And the real world is catching up. The USG is in a real world.
Their, our world.
What to do now?
will they wake up to reality - what we will see is a compromise. but they
chinese are ball breakers - and I think it's high time someone break some
balls at ICANN. Go china go.
- to ignore? possibly losing control on the IANA.
- to adapt in creating an IETF server? possibly creating a mess for
nothing if they do not sell? worse if they sell?
- lto ead in reviewing the architecture towards a fully distributed
network with concerted IANA, one a country? a language?
NOT an easy choice. But a choice which has to be made.
The PublicRoot structure is the ultimate choice framework which provides
for shared operability.

joe
