Wambua, I wont make it for the meeting but plse register my comment on the above as follows: 1. No single government should have oversight powers over IANA functions(core operational functions of the Internet).

That's what the original White Paper said...it's just 20 years later now.

NB: IANA functions are administrative, not operational.

 

2. It is therefore best that the US government relinquishes oversight powers over the IANA function in a progressive manner i.e. by moving its relationship with ICANN over IANA function from the current "Contractual" agreement to a "Cooperation" agreement locally known as an MOA and eventually an non-legal agreement sometimes known as an MoU

that's what ICANN says too:
