The meta-problem is that some people are determined that we should have
new privately-owned TLDs and other are determined that all new non-ccTLDs
should be shared TLDs so that domain name owners are not locked in to a
service provider in the same way that they are now locked in to NSI.

And the meta-meta-problem is that there is no overreaching authority that
can make a decision on the meta-problem or enforce and arbitrated solution
to that problem. Therefore the problem must simmer and boil until it
becomes large enough to gain public attention. Once general public opinion
is known, more people will have the courage to push the r4esolution of the
problem in the direction that the public wants it to go.
