Well, it is a complicated issue, but let's discuss it since it's a
critical factor in determining whether we truly are acting on behalf of
the Internet community.

One way to determine what the Internet community wants in gTLDs is
through the marketplace. Why isn't this sufficient?

I see the DNSO's role more closely resembling a vehicle for establishing
a way to come up with a process that empowers the Internet community to
use market forces to select gTLDs (in a manner that is technologically
feasible).
