I really don't think that namespace issues are part of the role for the ASO AC. This is clearly a problem for ICANN's disaster-ridden domain-name side, and not for the ASO/NRO side of things. Frankly, it hadn't occurred to me that ICANN would actually do this, but, now that it's happening, it doesn't really surprise me. Operationally, it's a horrible idea, but, most of us in layers 1-4 stopped paying much attention to the disasters happening at ICANN for DNS along time ago as we sort of came to believe that we didn't have enough money to bribe^h^h^h^h^hinfluence the right people in a sufficiently meaningful way to make our voices heard.
