[NCUC-DISCUSS] Ominous update on the IANA transition

[Seun Ojedeji]

Hi David,

Just curious, why should the policy making body be fired? Does that not
mean firing the entire community?
What I think is important is the ability to fire the management
(leadership) of the policy making body(when required) and that is being
addressed within the CCWG.
