     Alejandro, are you saying there is no realistic alternative to having
the ICANN board choose who gets TLDs, telling registry operators what names
they can and cannot use, telling them what business models to follow, and
what prices to charge?  And that none of this can be done by national
governments or regional bodies?    And *all* of these decisions have to be
made by a single centralized body?    I am quite willing to have *some* TLD
policies be made globally.  But I don't see the basis for saying *all* TLD
decisons have to be made by the ICANN board.
