Re: [ga] RAA

[Hugh Dierker <hdierker2204@xxxxxxxxx>]

Excellent point.
  Every morning as I wake I am faced with conflicts of interests. I work for differing companies that run the gambit of dotcommoners to agents of registries, from ccTLDs to gTLDs from the US to Mexico to Vietnam and back to Canada. I especially hate sitting on boards of competing??? companies or contracting parties. A husband and wife come in on a copyright issue and they have a conflict. 
  I also have to deal with working ethics, religious and moral conflicts. Not to mention my wifes' family versus my own when they conflict. Do not even go to Attorney privileges and Clergy confidences.
   
  I would say your concerns are warranted just not exclusionary. Thank you for taking the first step of disclosure and transparentness.

Given that I have a registry/registrar (.ewe) that has found itself 
excluded from the only viable marketplace by ICANN, might one wonder 
whether I might want polices that protect and extend my interests at the 
expense of others?

Indeed, might the incumbent registrars, registries, and selected 
industrial interests (e.g. trademark industry) in ICANN not also be 
expected to be protecting and extending their interests at the expense 
of others?

If so, should not we all be excluded not merely on the grounds of 
conflict of interest and but also for acting as a combination in 
restraint of trade?
