Tamar;
The alternatives that scare you are the very processes that built the
Internet to the size... and success... that it is now. I can understand
this is a very scary thing to somebody that lives and breathes law,
contracts and corporate rules; nonetheless, all the contracts and
laws in the world would not have made Apache the NS/MS killer
or Linux the Windows killer. It's the notion of "the good of the
community" that is so abused by the ICANN apologists that got us
here (and it's very unpleasant to see this being abused in the
name of the blaoted, inefficiant and utterly *captured*
nightmare that is ICANN.
