<html><body><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#000000;
font-size:10pt;"><div>As a communications counselor, I am always looking for
analogies to help aid the understanding of complex problems. I view VI at
ICANN as one such complex problem. A report from the Technology Policy
Institute may be the analogy.<br></div><div><br></div><div>The Institute, a
think tank focused on the economics of innovation and change (and headed by
U.S. Senate runner-up, Carly Fiorina), has issued a report promoting vertical
integration as "inherent" in efficient markets. Here is the link to the
press release (with a link to the report embedded): <a

are arguable differences between the open markets addressed by the report and
the noblesse oblige of ICANN with regard to domain names, but I thought the
article was provocative enough to add to the mix.</div><div><br></div><div>It
may all be beside the point, of course, if Kurt Pritz was to be believed at our
meeting in Washington, D.C. He said ICANN does not want to have to
monitor exceptions.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,
