Keep the agencies of the United States government out of this.
This sounds like NSI is trying to wiggle out of participation in
CORE. NSI does not like a solution that provides no guarantee that
NSI will be one of the new registries.
This is Washington politics - SNAFU and FUD.
Operators, read the documentation and decide for yourself.

The IETF COREdb working group is defining a technical solution to
"too much bureaucracy."
Who thinks the FCC can be less burocratic than a shared database?
Do I see any hands?
If you agree with the IAHC solution then show your support
and advocate that your company sign the MoU.

If the Internet stumbles, it will not be because we lack for technology,
vision, or motivation. It will be because we cannot set a direction
and march collectively into the future.
