ICANN starting pushing this idea that 'contracts aren't policy' back when it
tried to sell the community on the first ICANN-Network Solutions contract.
Since that time, the "disparity of opinion" has been between Joe Sims,
trying to sell a series of unpalatable NetSol-Verisign contracts to the
community, and everyone else. The fact that the disparity has been
"long-running" is more an indicator of the legal staff's recalcitrance than
a sign of a legitimate dispute among equal factions in the stakeholder
community. The "new" ICANN has the opportunity to break this cycle and bring
some sense to the debate.
