  Yes.  And this was discussed at some length when these contracts
were being developed.  However Joe Sims and Louis Touton
did not listen or just ignored the call for some serious modifications
in order to AT THAT TIME, provide for clauses in these
contracts to at least address this foreseen problem.

  Yes they do.  However they lack for some reason(s) to be willing
to do so.  To me this is a basic stability problem that keeps getting

  Well yes.  But it is also each of the stakeholders job as well.  We
must continue to insist on the ICANN staff doing it's job while
at the same time helping by providing potential solutions also...
