Subject: Staff Report Illustrates ICANN Oblivious To Growth Of Small Business

Message:
 

 
                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.
