Olivier, Avri,

I'm not sure I agree that "new accountability mechanisms [are] needed for *all* functions." It seems to me entirely possible that in examining needs for the future, and analyzing how things might change in the absence of NTIA, we will find that in some cases, the mechanisms we already have are perfectly adequate. 

I've reviewed the graphic Olivier refers to, and I'm not convinced that whoever wrote it meant to force an assumption that "new accountability mechanisms" are required for all the IANA functions, only that accountability mechanisms need to be documented and understood. Given also how hard ICANN has tried to avoid being prescriptive in this process where it wasn't necessary, and how carefully the ICG is guarding its self-determination so far, I'm not sure I'd regard such a view as the last word on the subject. 

I'm also reminded that ICANN is undertaking a discussion about replacing NTIA's supposed general accountability role ("adults in the room") with an "ICANN Accountability " examination process of some kind, which I'd thought was intended to look at such global accountability concerns separately from specifics of the day-to-day IANA functions. We can hope to see that take more definite shape soon.

best,
Suzanne
