I do not think so. It is the consequence of the Tunis deal. It gives 
that power to the NTIA.

BUT this also means that we are here dealing with the 
Internationalised US Internet and not with the Multilingual Global 
Network. This is why I think reasonable that the person in real 
charge is assigned the job to represent the USA (however the same 
should have been made possible for every country/region) to the IGF.

The fate of the "L" server is of no interest because the root server 
system is of no real interest as dangerous to the stability of the 
MGN. It is now the role of ICANN to deprecate it. The job definition 
of ICANN is in this way perfectly clear, even if it chocks the way of 
thinking of Internet old timers: root servers are NOT considered. 
This is a private volunteer system. There is a progressive evolution 
from the 1971/1983 Legacy Internet and a concerted split between the 
Internationalised US Internet and the rest of the world MGN as I call 
it. The sooner we accept this, the sooner we can adequately 
contribute to that evolution.
