Well, we're just going to disagree, then. I think there is ample
evidence that POC and PAB are the entities that have just as much
control over .firm as IOD has over .web as NSI has over .com, then.
POC and PAB might, as you say, make sure CORE sticks to
being an organization that does nothing by manage a registry
database, but they could also decide that CORE needs to
finance another venture, also non-profit, but at such a cost that
the price rises. CORE might need another couple T3s, for
example. Who knows?
