Great, now all we have to do is make ADNA, assuming it's the correct
entity, the community supported organisation.

A little bit of membership work to be done here I feel.

It shoud be noted the "new corporation" described by NTIA doesn't actually
suggest a "fee" for membership, in fact it clearly indicates that it must
be open to anyone.  Guess that's "democracy".  Even the homeless can apply.
 And so they should.

OK.  I'll accept that. I would like to see ADNA's board either by their own
hand or by binding agreement that a board member can not directly or
indirectly operate as a Regisrar or Registry.

That ensures no conflict of interest.  But care needs to be taken to accept
a balance of people.

Good, well in that case we meet the requirements of the Green Paper,
perhaps ADNA needs to remove the "IAHC"isms from the policy now?

Possible, and why not?  It can't cause any harm can it?
