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, 

A pre-condition for that is that technical and operational problem statements
are formulated, which could be sent to appropriate WGs or used to justify
a BOF. If ICANN could focus on that instead of solutionism or committeeism,
progress should be possible.

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.
