Sure. I hope the provocation has been heard. As you may be aware, 
my official (and true) position may be read in the White Paper of 
BORooN.

Still there are precisions to be made about the words used, thank 
you for that, Jeff. See my statements below.

Still a "board" determines a side or a community. That is, there 
should be a principle, which tight members together on the board. 
The question was in fact what principle defines the board you mean, 
even if it is just an idiomatic expression.

For ICANN and most of the people out of here, all roots which are not 
managed by ICANN are alternative roots. Please don't expect people 
out of the classical industry (or old economy) to understand what is a 
root. Among the alternative roots, there are inclusive and exclusive 
roots. The definition of inclusive and exclusive seems to differ from 
community to community. I use inclusive roots as an expression for 
a root which includes the *official* roots.

The result of having many inclusive roots, is that they show on a 
common namespace (ICANN) and on own namespaces which may 
be different.

BTW: under this definition, ORSC is not an inclusive root, because 
.biz and .info are not shown in the namespace of ICANN.

I'm not sure to understand the expression competitive root structures.

Jefsey brought once the concept of coopetitive structures. I 
understand this as competitive root networks which share the same 
root file. That is the model BORooN supports.

Jeff, I know what a hit is. But what is the _real_ comunication 
significance of a hit? If one Web site hat 20 gifs, one pageview 
makes 21 hits. By 2 millions hits, it just states about fewer than 
100000 pageviews, which is another relation.

That states, that new.net is running an adequate market strategy. Do 
you look at new.net as an inclusive/competitive root structure? Do 
you think the reaction of ICANN against new.net is adequate?
