True. But the negociation with th iCANN does.

The most important feature in the contract is that this contract 
proposition - as you may have noticed it - does exist.

What people question through a very clear example  affecting them (.org 
change) is that incredible fact that the Staff does engage the future of 
the Internet without respecting any of the rules set-up by the Charter, not 
the BoD to object.

Plan B is complex. Plan A supersedes Plan B only because it keep the 
possibility of a confusion which may benefit to the Internet community. So, 
Plan B will necessarily lead to a duopolitsic situation calling on a 
detrimental international anti-trust action (as you may note that view I 
support from the very beinging is now substantiated at top European level).

As suche Plan A vs Plan B are therefore quite confusing points. Cf. ccTLDs 
confused analysis.

.org is not confusing. It is a consensual matter: "one does not change a 
TLD charter.".

But the matter, and the issue are the same: "iCANN Staff has no capacity to 
neither to engage a negociation with VRSN nor to take away hundred of 
thousands businesses", either through  a VRSN contract review, either 
through .biz or through .org. I note this is as much against its Charter 
and bylaws as against NSI Protocol and White Paper: this is what the people 
object picking a clear example which speaks by iteself..
