RE: [ga] collisions in namespace (was gTLD Constituency)

[Dave Crocker <dhc2@dcrocker.net>]

The point that is missed in analyses, such as the one below, is that those 
in other roots chose to establish those roots (namespaces) independently of 
IANA/ICANN.  It therefore makes no sense at all to now expect IANA/ICANN to 
"coordinate" with those independent activities.

People who choose to work independently should be allowed and encouraged to 
operate in the mode they chose:  independent.
