ICANN lacks an understanding
of sweat-equity, the concept of which is only understood after a person has invested
some of their own. If ICANN had actually been started by a visionary, with
lots of guts, fortitude, and sweat-equity, it would be better equipped to deal with
the current situation, for sure. The only concerns ICANN, ICANN consultants,
and ICANN advisors have expressed with regard to IOD are the obvious trials and tribulations
associated with developing something substantial, from nothing. ICANN could
have asked any successful small business owner what problems to expect during growth.
Instead, ICANN may be discouraging any non-conglomerate size business from participating
in the process. ICANN must work with IOD, negotiate, understand, and help bring
IOD into the realm of ICANN. Why are NSI, iDomains, and others represented
within ICANN/DNSO, while a company like IOD must participate as an outsider?
It's not a fair situation, and that fact is not lost in the political, legal, and
ethical communities.
