Re: [wg-c] nsi proposes to create new gTLds

[James Love <love@cptech.org>]

This is just a shot in the dark, but if the point is to create some
competition, why don't we have competitive proposals to compete with
NSI, rather than just have NSI run the registry that is supposed to
compete with NSI?   And why should NSI choose the strings for the new
registries that compete with .com, .net and .org?  

And, why does NSI get a say on this at all?  Doesn't NSI have a conflict
of interest or something?
