Ross, So you say ICANN is open and accountable, at least that is what I read in your words. Then how come we will be stuck with WLS ? The entire process for that "product" was rigged from the beginning, everyone and the world against it, the advise for the names council was no, yet ICANN sanctions it.
And this is not the first time ICANN went against NC advise for no apparent reason. As for the original inclusive namespace discussion, I support inclusive, and why not, I can not remember that at any given moment the USA got the law-making rights on Name Space, it seems so easily forgotten that the world is a lot bigger then the US and that the DoC has little or no influence in China or Europe. Which in turn are entities quite a bit larger then the US. Inclusive also allows for (like dot root) a lot more "root" servers, which in turn makes the net more reliable. Whether I would want to sell domains in the inclusive name-space is not really relevant, but I do think with a fair warning to customers, and the advise to use our NS we would have a product, whether it would be New.Net's or another is something worth looking into.
