Someone may naively believe the NTIA staff *has the option* to let ICANN 
alone on DNSSEC deployment decisions. But that's not true, because the 
US "administration" established, and now abides, by the "US Principles 
on the Internat's Domain Name and Addressing System." That's reference 
19 in the Notice of Inquiry. Any submission *aiming* at changing those 
principles will be quietly ignored by NTIA, a waste of energy from the 
part of the submitter, and out of scope.

But I see your point if you suggest that technical comments should be 
accompanied by a disclaimer against any implied admission 
(acknowledgement) of legitimacy for the US governement to maintain 
oversight of ICANN and/or IANA.
