3 years ago I did suggest this very commission basis system to resellers
to Charles Musisi,
but like I said earlier, they don't respect reseller opinions ..
If only this reseller commission scheme was in place, am very certain
there would be almost
be no reseller interested in moving the registry to government ...
is this greed?

Granted this is a tech list, but perhaps we are better off accounting
for the non-technical issues around this proposal.
1. Bureaucrats love to look busy. This is an opportunity to look busy.
And, make no mistake, they will keep getting busy on this issue, so CFI
needs to pay attention. As Kurup points out, CFI cannot go on ignoring
them.
2. My information is that CFI has been invited on several occasions to
discuss this issue and has ignored said invitations. It may be that some
bad blood has existed between the bureaucrats and CFI owing to past
encounters, but, as I understand it, this is a new team, one that is
willing to listen. It is in CFI's (and our) long term interests to start
pressing flesh. My source says he will work to cause a workshop with
invites to ye luggers, to discuss the issues.
3. This one is purely tactical: CFI has put itself into a situation
where only itself has a financial incentive in maintaining the status
quo. Why not immediately announce a generous reseller program, with up
to 50% commission at certain volumes? That would certainly make a
government take-over that much more difficult.

So this has nothing to do with all stakeholders having an equal say in

Agree but there doesn't seem to be much you can do about that.
A government, if it is really determined, can ignore ICANN's authority
as global coordinator and take over management of its domain. A case
in point is the govt of South Africa which introduced legislation to
reclaim control over the .za name space from the incumbent ccTLD
manager. ICANN could only just observe and accept the reality [1].
Besides the ICP-1 [2] document that was quoted here earlier states:-
"The desires of the government of a country with regard to delegation
of a ccTLD are taken very seriously. The IANA will make them a major
consideration in any TLD delegation/transfer discussions".
