Hi,
Actually less hypothetical than I thought. Writing the DOI convinced me that I
should write the article, and am using the DOI as the introduction to the
article. So at this point, I am writing an article on ICANN/GNSO policy
processes, their development and implementation and may gain some advantage, or
perhaps disadvantage, since advantage comes in both positive and negative
directions.
More than anything I am exploring the rules we make, the requirements we put on
people and trying to follow them to their logical conclusions.
Cheers,
a.
