Re: [At-Large] NTIA JPA Mid-Term Review Statement



Why do all of these announcements and such include things like the following.

the recognition that ICANN is the appropriate technical coordinator of the 
Internet DNS.  when ICANN does not stick to doing this and instead gets into 
areas such as examining business plans when a new TLD is proposed?

ICANN has made significant progress in several key areas, when no one can 
really point to several key areas in which progress has been made?

And then they write as if they have confidence in the following;

long term stability; when ICANN has not implemented much of a long-term 
strategy so far?

accountability; when ICANN has not held anyone accountable before? and when 
ICANN BoD and staff are not held accountable?

responsiveness; when ICANN takes years to respond to any issue?

continued private sector leadership, when ICANN defines this as doing whatever 
businesses like Verisign tell them to do?

stakeholder participation; when ICANN defines stakeholders as only large 
companies, ISPs, and registries and not as lowly domain holders and average 
users?

increased contract compliance; when ICANN folds on contracts anytime they are 
threatened with a lawsuit? See the Verisign lawsuit for an example.

and enhanced competition. when ICANN does everything they can to assure their 
is no real competition in namespace?
