OK, lets examine that statement.  Future control of the servers that resolve
the queries.........

does that mean for the gTLD's, ccTLD's?

In our application (Ross help me if i am wrong) for a new TLD we assumed we
would control the servers, at least we would have to pay for them.

Back to Patrick Greenwell's response... is it true ICANN will control the
name servers if they ever "consumate" their DOC seperation?
