I agree with Avri on this. 
I have 25 years of experience in national and international public policy 
debates concerning economic regulation and if I call something "protectionism" 
I don't do it lightly. That being said, the shock that was initially generated 
by the suggestion that we kill SR TLDs altogether has passed; the people who 
suggested it seem to have backed off; the tone is improving. Both sides were 
responsible for the escalation and I think the solution is to focus on 
substance and mutually acceptable compromises that address legitimate concerns.
