And this is what must be resolved before NSI is given the keys to the Cadillac.

First some determination should be made to why NSI should be GIVEN this >$50
million monopoly by the US government. Maybe it should instead be open for

And second, whoever does get the rights to register domains under .com, .net

competing registries.
