Dear Milton!

It really depends Milton => I'm assuming that we are talking about "a" common, the DNS, to be managed by a private agent, ICANN (no a regulator) In that case we are already talking about a collective interest.

Further I'm assuming that a Board decision "may" be based on an assumption of PI that may diverge from the communities assumption of what the PI is in case of this collective resource.

Where do we go from there? Who do we call if there is no NTIA contract anymore?

The idea that we are all devils individually but collectively become angels is a nonsense that I thought had died with various forms of totalitarianism.
