William and all, You make a good argument and good point here William. Your argument is also a good one for multiple REGISTRIES as well... But of course ICANN has problems with multiple REGISTRIES, don't they? Unless of course they are relate to ccTLD's presently. Sort of contradictory isn't it? Oh well, given the caliber of the ICANN Board, I am not surprised. Couple this with an DOC/NTIA not doing good oversight, and a Rouge DNSO NC/list admin. Well anyway, I think most here get the picture... William X.
