Dear Sir,

 I am not completely convinced of your argument even recognizing 
the value, because I learned that things in life tend to be more 
complicated, lets say have more than one simple dimension.

 But if I agree on your interpretation I must ask me and you why 
ICANN staff introduced exactly that argument ( reduction of 
marketshare of VeriSign ) to justify the change of the contract ?

B. CHANGES IN CIRCUMSTANCES SINCE THE ORIGINAL 
AGREEMENT
...
Perhaps most relevantly, VeriSign's once-dominant market position 
has been severely eroded. VeriSign's share of total registrations has 
fallen to about 50%,
    its share of new registrations to under 40%, and its share of net 
new registrations (taking into account non-renewals and transfers) 
to an even lower level. This
    trend appears to be continuing in 2001.
...
snap-----------
 It seems not logical for me to allow the argument only from one 
point of view.
