My view would concur with this, these are really old battles starting back in the
netsol days and now the verisign has taken the same short sighted path.
It is time that neutral party is in charge

frankly i am mystified as to why icann awards registry contracts to for-profit entities. registrars can be for-profit, but registries should be non-profit or public-trust or whatever that specific nation's laws allow for in terms of requirements for open accounting, uniform dealing, and nonconflict with the public's interest. -- Paul Vixie
