  Indeed!  And it is likely that given the current trend, and other potential
upcoming events regarding gTLD selection this trend could excelerate
dramatically.  It is obvious that Louis Touton and possibly other members
of the current ICANN board are concerned at this potential loss of
market share, but are unable to grasp the concept of how it can be
arrested or even reversed.
