Kent,
To say that Adam Todd, Richard Sexton, and Einar Stefferud are stacking the
deck in NSI's favor is a total mischaracterization.
The difference is that these three do not harshly criticize NSI when it isn't
called for, unlike some who choose to take everything they can possible stretch
into a harsh criticism of NSI. I'll admit that I have at times been quilty of
that with regard to CORE. I've tried to tone that down of late.
Adam is well known for his criticisms of NSI and NSI's current monopolistic
position. As are Richard and Stef.
What apparently is difficult for you to understand is that people can disagree
on many things, but agree on others.
I disagree with you on most things, and with Dave Crocker, but there are also
areas where I agree with one or the other of you. I posted a message earlier
today agreeing with Dave, as a matter of fact.
I disagree with ORSC over many things, for example prior use rights to
alternative TLDs. And I have been critical of them over that issue as well as
others. But I also agree with other of their positions.
You are trying to turn this into a black and white this side or that side
issue, and I think this is to your advantage to have it appear that way.
The fact is that it isn't.
But as long you continue trying to keep it that way, the longer you can try and
justify not working with the Paris Draft to reach a true consensus DNSO
application, which you claimed was your goal when this DNSO process began.
