  Compliance with what is the real question though Patrick. 
"Competitive
Roots" and "Alt Roots" exist.  As such the stability of the DNS and the
Internet as a whole is at stake here.  RFC1591 supports first come
first serve.  dotBIZ (ICANN's Version) is not first.  Hence, the ICANN
BoD is promoting instability if they wish to not cooperate with existing
"Competitive Roots" or "Alt Roots".
