As an administrative executive of a decision making
entity, he probably should not be saying anything.
Only three of the 250 TLD zones are not "monopolies" and
unlikely to change significantly.  ICANN seems intent
on holding on to its monopoly root zone.

So clearly we're dealing with a mixed environment
where the best stance of an ICANN spokesperson is
neutrality on the matter.
