I might submit that the ORSC has proven themselves much better at that game.
One of the first steps is to acknowlege, without reservation, that an
outside world exists. The failure of the ICANN, to take this crucial step,
is a large part of what presented new.net with their market opportunity. Had
ICANN incorporated ORSC principles, as they agreed to in 1998, new.net might
not even exist. The systematic disenfranchisement, of those working in the
other root-zones, is a large part of the problem. It presented the
market-gap that new.net is moving to fill.
