        you've seen it, you just won't admit it.

        you are setting up additional monopolies.  monopolies over critical
resources are to be avoided wherever possible.  the problem for you, here,
of course, is that monopolies over critical resources can incur windfall
profits.  you want to allow that.  the iahc doen't.

        you are attempting to coopt an established administrative structure
that has worked well for 10 years, rather than to work contructively on its
enhancements.

        you are holding yourself beyond accountability

        you are pretending that the DNS gTLD space is a US resource rather
than one that is global.

        no doubt there are more substantive criticisms, but one grows weary
and the list is long enough.
