  I, for one am sure you are quite right here in your conclusion.  And
I say, so be it.  If the ICANN BoD is so inane to do so, than they

You have your opinion, Roberto.  And it has some merit itself.  But
only some....  What is required here is will, and that's about it...
As one of our great patriots once shouted at the top of his lungs,
