the point open and not "described" is the "initial interim board set up
mechanism" ! and/but i agree that it could/should be done by
"arising out of the various meetings and discussions between the various
 interested stakeholders" but the "autority" to build this interim board
should remain by iana specialy if there is no "true consensus group/s"

i think in this concepts the crucial thing is the mechanism for
interim board set up and establishing so its "autority"-by having as in
iana discussion proposal the "main players" in a gross way sorted out and
involved in building up the IB wich is the basis for seting up a interim
legal framework and "definitive" interim board
on the otherherside on wich basis you would to build the legal framework?
-shure there are principels already known and iana inchargt
but it would "look" much better to involv the main potential players in
the process of defining legal frame work for building the interim board

i agree with you complitely but i see there is a need for a close up in
the space ("missing link") between the now situation and the interim legal
frame work and interim board set up

who is defining the conditions for the interim legal frame work ?
-wich on itself could be the "basis" for the interim board
 building/definition !

the iana ?- i have no problem with this !

but it would be nice if iana could find a way to incorporate as early
posible as much as posibel the potential main players into any further
step of ILF/IB-consensus building process

thanks
