Twomey on MOU and transfer of responsibility.

Paul Twomey is giving his report to the public forum in Rome, and just discussed the memorandum of understanding. He reports that there are statements from the highest levels in the US department of commerce that the US government believes that ICANN’s functions should be performed in a multi-stakeholder, private-sector body, and not by the US government, and that the USG would like to see the MoU concluded and the transfer of responsibility take place.
