  Very true.  In fact, New.net is not the "Best of Bread" of Competitive
and Inclusive Root and registry structures, not to mention neither is
SRS or RRp respective to registration systems and Registry DB's
either.  Some existing now, although not well funded yet, are far
better, and more stable that what New.Net has offered thus far.
New.net has just done a much better job of marketing and
gathering alliances than other existing Competitive and Inclusive
Root and registry structures.

  Yes, and better are yet to come.  Some have been very quiet
waiting for the proper time to announce and offer their
services.  These will be coming soon I would imagine...
The challenge to the so far ICANN closed Root structure
philosophy has yet to really begin.  But as long as the
ICANN BoD (Stewart Lynn and company) and the NC
keep their collective heads in the sand, they will again be
unprepared and unpleasantly surprised.  That to us
seems to be a negative and unproductive long term strategy
to take.

  Yes it is.  But I only mention it in passing really as fair warning....

  I am sure the ITU would be more than happy to take over this
function in conjunction with the IETF for closed guidance.
This would be a political and economical mistake of
course.  But it is possible.

  Yes, this would seem to be the direction that would be logical.

  Well economics of scale doesn't seem to be and ICANN BoD
strong suit...
