the following letter might be interesting to consider as well:

        http://www.cdt.org/dns/icann/020306burns.shtml

as - following some of Ray Plzak's (ARIN) comments I got during a
yersterday's discussion - this hearing is most likely going to happen
according to usual process and behaviour within the US senate what
brings USG closer back again.

What especially scares me is the sentence "Obviously, more fundamental
questions also need to be addressed, such as whether ICANN is even the
most appropriate organization to be tasked with such a critical mission,
which is central to our national security."

Cheers,
