[lir-wg] ICANN Reform

Disagree.

The RIR"s seem to think there is a world that is

a)  includes ICANN
b)  doesn't include ICANN.


What IMHO, believe is that should the RIR's depart, which
I'm against, this would open the oppertunity for other 
organizations to take control.

ITU, being one of them.  This would be a particularly BAD IDEA


Its also interesting to note that at least one RIR 
hasn't really put this policy issue to its members as a propsed
policy.  Really good for bottom up processes :|

There should be a "formal policy proposal" that goes to the 
membership at large on the topic of "Should the RIR's bail
on IANA / ICANN".    I haven't seen one.
