Netnod appreciates the opportunity to provide feedback on the Root Server System Governance Structure document. The longevity of the governance structure is intrinsically linked to its acceptance within a broader global context, thus necessitating an in-depth discussion on accountability and transparency. The actual implementation of control mechanisms related to governance principles should not be deferred; instead, we stress the need for constant iteration between principles, models, and implementation to proactively address potential future concerns.

As the operator of the i-root, we perceive the growing demands of nation-states and corporations as a threat to the Internet, thereby underscoring the need for careful design of multi-stakeholder governance structures. The accountability and transparency of the Root Server System's governance must be evident to external global political and corporate actors, even if they are not direct constituents. Finally, a deeper exploration of how currently unhandled governance principles can be enshrined in later stages of the process, particularly concerning the organizational form, jurisdictional considerations, and constitution of the governance structure, is welcomed as a potential next step.
