When the municipal government in (say) Syracuse creates/recognizes
"air rights" over a downtown building, and those become marketable
and the next property buys them to build a tall building next
door, they are a product. From the vantage point of a trained
economist, I don't see how the notion of product will not be
brought to bear here. There are too many legal issues and
externalities involved for that to not happen. <br>
<br>
As for ICANN, let the process unfold and in a decade, or less,
after some case law and interventions at various levels of
governance, we can revisit your question. <br>
I am happy to stand or fall based on the evidence as it rolls out,
or or doesn't.<br>

I purposefully used "product" since the mantra within
ICANN is that being a "<i>regulator and coordinator of
the global DNS</i>" means that it is not engaged in
product production.
