Re: [ga-roots] Re: Criminalization of alt roots

What hard line stance, Eric?  It is a simple fact that time will show the 
error in ICANN's decision.  What are you suggesting that TLD registries 
do when ICANN decides to duplicate them?  Bend over with a sign that 
says "kick me and all the registrants?"  Shall we just say it is fine to go 
ahead and duplicate?  Should all the roots take this attitude?  What is 
right for one, is right for everyone.  That's the precedent.

It is time that ICANN/DoC realize that that they are, in fact, a part of a 
much larger world than the one root or root system and find a way to 
cooperate.  It is not just .BIZ, Eric.  It is ALL TLDs and all roots in the 
issue at hand.
