Leah,
About colliders, who do
you think made it popular? ICANN was not the first, but they sure were the
biggest. If the truth were known, I bet you they showed New.net that it
was not only possible, but profitable. They showed it by public
example. There is a country code (.co) that
only has four registrations and thousands of people would love to sell domains
in. When you go to the .co nic they allocate .co.com or maybe vice versa
.com.co and maybe two other extensions. So they are never going to collide
if the person creating the collider avoids making those four addresses
available. The collider creator could, in my humble opinion make a ton of
cash. And not hurt anyone, really. But ICANN in many ways is the
purveyor of its own future, ours and of things to come. When they take
away a larger board in favor of a smaller more controllable one, and minimize
the at-large delegates, they stop dissention. Hitler and
Lenin authored the book on this type of control, I think. It might be
time for a tea party (Boston tea party) and invite ICANN.
