With this position, I disagree.

I contend that participation in an "alternate" root proves very little 
about the competence, fairness and committment to stability of the proposed 
operator.

Possibly even less than the ability to pay USD 50.000, fill out ICANN forms 
with a convincing business plan and show up at meetings with a good story 
proves about a proposed operator.
