  The USG could not give up control over anything it did not already
control.  So your logic here Ssacha is way off.

 Correct.

  No the new, or rather existing DNS system with 5 new gTLD's, IANA,
will be a non-profit organization.  You need to read the GP again Sascha.

  They are invalid and incorrect, first of all.  Second they presuppose that
the new IANA will control everything dealing with the DNS system,  and that
has yet to be determined.

  He is not even close.

  THis is possibly correct.  When the White Paper comes out exactly how much
control the new IANA will have will be determined at that time.

  THis is your opinion, and you are intitled to it of course.  Many, in fact the
majority of the stakeholders don't agree with this obviously.

  The MoU would have and is still attempting to disenfranchise the stakeholder
and the Internet community at large be now allowing full participation in their
MoU process.  This be definition is harmful to the DNS system and all of its
users and stakeholders.

  He has made a knowingly false assumption or statement.  The IANA does not
now CONTROL the DNS system, but from time to time decisions as to what
gTLD's and TLD are added is determined by the IANA.

  No it is not.  If you have been paying attention over the past two years, you
couldn't possibly make this statement.
