Here is my brief comment from the Cross-Community Working Group on
Accountability, where Bruce Tonkin posted the text from: <a

rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/iana-<wbr>stewardship-questions</a><br>

<font color="#660000">Bruce, This is the formal evidence and logic
based ICANN contribution to clarity here. That helps but the
risk is that the IANA Transition will become a political
football in the final days of the U.S. election. At that point
evidence and logic will hold little sway against media "sound
bites" that may well be completely false. The hope is that the
parties to the election have bigger issues to deal with. If this
becomes an issue there will be nothing ICANN can do in the
immediate time frame, but there would be important lessons for
ICANN to learn with regard to an ongoing strategy of global
internet governance education. <br>
</font>
<p><font color="#660000">Actually, going forward ICANN, working
with its stakeholders, should address this challenge even if
the issue does not become media sound bites in the next couple
of weeks. Accountability, like open data, should include
knowledge translation to inform and educate all.</font> [<i>Sorry,
as an academic I succumbed to a Saturday lecture here, but I
do know what it means to talk over people's heads, we (and
ICANN) do it all the time, with poor results </i><i><span
