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.
