Hi,

Ok, so they don't believe in Laissez-faire.   I sit corrected.

Maybe they just don't like the way CAM proposes doing the audits and ICANN led 
enforcement and 3 strikes rules.

Or maybe they don't like the notion of a  prior initial review by an external 
panel of international competition experts, i.e. the proposed CESP for 
increasing beyond the defined threshold of 15% (again all threshold number in 
CAM are negotiable)

Obviously there is something they like in Free Trade that they don't see in 
CAM, or something they don't like in CAM that they don't see in Free Trade.  I 
would be curious to know what it is, since CAM is trying to define a compromise 
position, though adhering to a few principles, and am eternally optimistic that 
it might be possible to discuss something - especially with so many people 
favoring Free Trade and it becoming one of the leading proposals.

a.
