Rick and all,

  To a degree Rick, I agree with you.  However it is no reasonable
to label ongoing registries that happen not to be in the ICANN/IANA
Roots as Rogue.  You should know this Rick.  As a result you further
hamper progress.  Some of these registries may become ICANN
Registries, some may not.  Personally I think they all should despite
some of the dislike for some of the personalities involved.

  Restriction of new gTLD or even iTLD's into the ICANN Root should
be minimal.  That doesn't seem to be the direction that the ICANN Board
is taking however.  Hence raising concern that is warranted in this situation.
