Roberto,

It's unfortunate that so few people have read New.net's position paper
carefully, including it would appear ICANN staff and Stuart Lynn.

In it, New.net does not argue for multiple roots systems, rather New.net
argues about the means by which new TLDs gain acceptance into
the(marginally) DoC-controlled/ICANN root.

It is perplexing to me that when people attempt to engage in a dialogue
about the means by which new TLDs are introduced into the ICANN root, they
are met with the statement "multiple roots are bad and we can't recognize
others."

It's a non-sequitor, and an unfortunate distraction away from the
conversation that should be happening.
