Karl Auerbach on IANA

[Seun Ojedeji]

Quite interesting perspective and educating one. I like how it ends:

My request to you is this:

In the long term please take some time to become more engaged with the
issues of governance of the internet in general and ICANN in particular.

In the short term recognize that the immediate question of NTIA and ICANN
is not about US versus foreign influence but rather about whether ICANN
will be subject to effective oversight or be accountable to anyone. ICANN
has not demonstrated that it is willing to make itself accountable. One way
or the other ICANN ought to be subject to oversight – and that oversight
ought to be more real and substantive than it has been

Thanks for this.

Regards
