Re: Good Monopolies/Bad Monopolies

Kevin and all,

  Just some general comments here.  I like Yahoos model, but that is
just my opinion.  I don't like their search engine.  For whatever
that is worth.  I am not sure that their model is one that should
be adapted in this case in it's entirity.  This is just one of the
reasons that I do not support a Shared model.  I think that some
TLD's will have to be non-shared.  I will not go int the reasons
I have stated those several times from my addmittedly narrow 
perspective.  Others on this list have givin many other reasons
for varrients on shared vs non-shared that wouls seem to indicate
in and of themselves that a compleatly shared approach will not
prevail unless the IACH is not listening and insistant on that
part of the Dec 19 draft, this we will all see when the final
version is avalible for all to see.
