Your position doesn't really matter, as for if it changes or not.  What matters
is what we have agreed to here, and so far we have previous consensus on a
diversity of models, not a single model as you are stating above.

If this is the forced model, then I (and I am sure many others) would remove
any and all support for expansion of the namespace under those terms.  The only
possible motive for those type of model is to make the ICANN Accredited
registrars more money, and not to provide for a truly competitive namespace,
with real competition at the registry level.

Your arguments pro your position have all been refuted by experts, experts who
hold degrees and whose real world experience is far more valuable in analysis
than your opinion.
