  I somewhat disagree with this as a blanket statement.  Yes, as Bret said
"anti competitive acts taken by those under contract with ICANN
are ICANN's responsibility", but only in part.  The stakeholders/users
and DOC/NTIA, are also equally responsible as well.  Hence, in that
ICANN is contracted to DOC/NTIA, and the MoU and White paper
require that stakeholders/users are equal partners, than the ICANN
BoD and staff must seek solutions that satisfy their responsibility
contractually and meet the needs and desires of the stakeholders/usres.

  Agreed here to a point.  One must first define what HOARDING
as a practice is.
