Onno and all,
Well Onno, my first question to you is, who is "We" that yor refer to
in your comment? Is this "We" a mouse that you have in your pocket,
or are you playing fish for the "Trouser Trout" today? Hummmm??
My second question is what determins what "Full Competition" is
with respect to JUST registrar competition?
My third question is, where is the "Real" competition if there are not
competing REGISTRIES and ergo new TLD's?
Note of interest: These last two questions have been ask over and over
again to the ICANN (Initial?) Interim board, and there has yet to be
a difinitive answer to either of them.
