Hi,

Quickly, my understandings:

Within the Registry SG there is caution until they understand what is 
going to happen when there is no USG oversight over ICANN. Some seem 
concerned about the conditions a rampant GAC might impose.  So they are 
not quick to welcome anything.

Business is not happy, but I don't exactly understand beyond that this 
is disruptive and they are not so comfortable with disruption.

The ccNSO is very cautious.  They have very tenuous relations with ICANN 
and have, to some sense been protected by the USG declaration that it 
won't mess with other countries' sovereign stuff. ICANN has shown in the 
past that it wants to absorb them and get paid by them. If ICANN is 
total boss of IANA, what guarantee do they get?

While I don't know if it is part of the common statement issue, I think, 
the RIRs do their work through the NRO which only represents itself 
through the ASO in ICANN.  As one told me quite forcefully, they will 
decide on their on responses to NTIA in their own good time.

The Root Zone Operators, the most independent of all who have their own 
ways of cooperating with each other, object to be treated as chattel (my 
word not theirs, but that is what I understood at least one of them to 
be saying). So while I don't know if they were consulted (e.g RSSAC) 
about signing, I can't imagine them signing a common statement

I'm sure there are many other dimensions to it.
