I don't think they are contracted and/or offering a service and charging
to ICANN.  I think you are going outside the scope of this
discussion and saying things that doesn't have to do with what I am stating in this
discussion.  Anyway, at least the people in charge of the At-Large study
are not complaining about the big volume of job and they have a real huge
job to do.  We are not talking about if they eat caviar. They are working!
!! and very hard!!!

But what I stated about the people that works with the servers of
DNSO anyone can see it in:
