I think the problem is less of a technical but of an administrative or political nature. You 
don't need the USG or ICANN to watch over the root. However, you need a body that 
prevents collisions. I don't find New.NET's market based approach really convincing. 
Where is the model, where is the charter that would constitute such a coordinative 
body? And how could such a charter rule out that the new body wouldn't end up in 
ICANN version 2?
