RE: [ga] FW: Comment from the gTLD Registry Constituency

[Eric Dierker <eric@hi-tek.com>]

When people work on problems by starting out with premise;
"This is how it is supposed to work, so here is the solution to the problem"
rather than;
"this is how it really works, so here is the solution to the problem"

They create a bigger problem rather than a solution.  Mission Creep is a 
fact.  Any proposed solutions must accept that fact.
(and no the solution is not to get rid of the fact, it is human nature)
