As for the rest of the discussion - I'm sure there are things to be improved 
in ICANN. I'd suggest though that some of the feedback might be better placed 
in an ICANN discussion than on IETF list. And is not like there'd be nothing 
to improve on our side :-) Lets focus on IETF aspects here.

I think this is the correct strategy, BUT, I see as a very active participant 
in ICANN (chair of SSAC) that work in ICANN could be easier if some "more" 
technical standards where developed in IETF, and moved forward along standards 
track, that ICANN can reference. Same with some epp-related issues, and also 
DNS-related, which I must admit I think has stalled in the IETF. When that 
happens, ICANN start to "invent" or at least discuss IETF related issues -- 
which I think is non optimal. But on the other hand, if IETF do not move 
forward, then what should ICANN do?

I will btw be the first few days (until including Tuesday or so) at IETF in 
Berlin and am happy to discuss this issue with anyone interested.
