Something Radical

Desperate times call for desperate measures. So, I have a suggestion to 
members of CORE.

1) Get out of the Internet governance business by dumping POC and PAB.

2) Volunteer to donate your modern, shared registry database application 
built by Emergent to the new non-profit corporation proposed by the US 
government. In exchange, get permission to quickly add and register more 
gTLD's than the small 5 now proposed.

I suspect Registrars are in this to make money, but that's only going to 
happen when permission for more and more gTLD's become available. It's 
going to take foreover for the non-profit to get up to speed with any 
modern root-server, shared registry database.

The best thing to come out of the gTLD-MoU is funding for the CORE 
database application. All these policies, procedures, and dispute 
resolution stuff has been mostly a waste of time. Your TLD database, 
though, could very easily be used as a carrot for getting the ends you 
want quickly. Otherwise, CORE members run the risk of not getting 
anything.

Just my opinion...
