Thats alot of nonsense.  The problem with ICANN is that it has very 
little real estate to offer.  If it actually had any real estate most of 
these issues would settle themselves.  It's like a two sided monopoly - 
no control - but alot of power.

To stop this farce ICANN need to correct the fractures it has created on 
the internet and adopt all current existing top level domains in the 
known public root.  The monopoly in domain names will end and free trade 
will commense.
