 This is niether shocking nor
 immoral. It is a natural out-
 come of previous commitments
 and ongoing plans. EuroISPA
 has as much right to a minor
 stake in the Namespace as CORE,
 Internic, Alternic or ourselves
 (we claim stewardship over the
 .WTV and .FCN TLDs). For the
 record Ivan also has a huge
 financial stake in CORE and
 the commercialization of his
 interests. What's the problem
 here? Unless it's the fact that
 some would deny us all the
 rights they claim... and that's
 the big problem here. What
 greedy little piggies we
 humanoids can be sometimes!
