  Agreed.  And that step has been decidedly made as I indicated
above in my previous comments...

  Also agreed, but this was not what I was addressing in my previous comments
(See above).  The fact that the ICANN BoD and staff have decided to introduce
"Colliding" gTLD's (.BIZ and .INFO), the SPLIT to that or andy future
extent will be on this ICANN BoD and staff's head.

  This does not necessarily have to occur with a SROOTS or BINDPlus,
and/or multiple roots structure.

  It is not a matter of what/who wins or that there will be one winner, it is
a matter of will there be a win/win or not...  Should the ICANN BoD and
staff choose, as they have thus far to continue to introduce colliding gTLD's
than there will be no clear winner, and a growing number of stakeholders
will in fact lose.  If on the other hand, Competitive and Inclusive root and
registry structures continue to take the deliberate and careful path or
not introducing colliders, and the ICANN BoD and staff cooperate
in kind, than there will be a win/win...  Thus far though, the statements
from a number of the ICANN BoD and staff seem to be to the contrary.
This problem was ICANN self created when the departure from RFC1591
was a policy that this ICANN BoD and staff decidedly embarked upon...
