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?
