Actually if you read the Poised list (I am a former co-chairman of the
IETF Poised working group) you will find that the IETF support for ICANN
is not at all clear or unqualified.

And one has to remember, that until ICANN amended its by-laws to eliminate
the parity role of individuals in SO's, the PSO design offered by the IETF
would have had to be rejected because it has absolutely no role for
individuals, or indeed for anything but large standards making bodies.
