A pre-condition for that is that technical and operational problem statements
are formulated, which could be sent to appropriate WGs or used to justify
a BOF. If ICANN could focus on that instead of solutionism or committeeism,
progress should be possible.

> and moved forward along standards track, that ICANN can reference. Same with some epp-related issues, and also DNS-related, which I must admit I think has stalled in the IETF. When that happens, ICANN start to "invent" or at least discuss IETF related issues -- which I think is non optimal. But on the other hand, if IETF do not move forward, then what should ICANN do?
