This has just been released and is worth reading. Now, where do we, in

Well this paper calls for ICANN to be overseen by it's users.
However, the paper says that the users are registries and registrars,
which I don't think is useful, as endusers are left out of the
equation. In effect, AfriNIC and African ccTLD registries would be
asked to provide oversight. I think ICANN is adequately overseen by
it's own BoD, I don't think we need to add another layer above that.
I would be very happy if we could get more African governments
involved in the GAC, but I don't think any other role for them would
be merited.
