May I add two questions:

1. If the IANA Transition is delayed what do you expect from governments in the UNCSTD Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation which will start in September 2016 and will deliver a report to the UN General Assembly (via CSTD and ECOSOC) in fall 2017?

2. If the IANA Transition is delayed what do you expect from the next ITU Plenipot scheduled for fall 2018 in Dubai?

Thanks

Wolfgang

Respect your views on the outstanding issues, but am still concerned about the larger political consequences.  So I have a couple simple questions, if the transition is delayed as you suggest:

1.  If Hillary somehow manages to get elected, when do you expect the further process you want would be completed and the political ducks would be lined up in DC for the US to finally relinquish its role?

2.  If Hillary somehow manages to lose to Il Donald, in what decade do you expect the US would relinquish its role?

3.  What do you think the "rest of the world" governments that have been screaming about the imperative to end the US role being the number one Internet issue on the global agenda will be doing in the meanwhile as we go through the many cycles of community tweaking and US politics involved?

Thanks
