M. Stuart Lynn prefers restricted domains

Mike Roberts once said that ICANN listens to 5 or 6
sources to develop their consensus. It should not
be too hard to figure out who those 5 or 6 are and
why they will keep ICANN going for as long as there
are people willing to pay for domain names.

ICANN views this as competition. Stuart Lynn
banks his $250,000 per year salary for doing what?
Keep in mind that Stuart said that Mike Roberts
said that to prepare for an ICANN Meeting, he
needs to make sure he has one controversial
topic raised. Three or four times a year, Stuart
Lynn has to toss out something for people to
discuss. It all gives people the impression that
ICANN is doing something and people are
participating.

The pattern is clear, people are just being used.

That may definitely be true. VeriSign gets to keep .com for ten more years, and Microsoft gets its hand as a registry operator for the .net platform.
