No one is advocating a "five-year guaranteed out-of-business limit". If the
registry is run well, then chances are pretty good that it would be
successful in its re-bid. As far as VC cash goes, your conjecture is totally
irrelevant not too mention inaccurate. VCs are concerned with one thing -
immediate ROI. It does not take five years for a VC to fund and get out. In
my mind, five years might even be extreme - considering that five years is
currently the total sum history of the commercial internet as we know it...
