[Info] IPC Letter to ICANN regarding .SUCKS

[Sam Lanfranco]

Milton,

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.

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.
I am happy to stand or fall based on the evidence as it rolls out, or or 
doesn't.

Sam
