Nobody could disagree with this.  As I said before, WLS has some  
aspects which may best be dealt with in court, and some aspects  
which can _only_ be dealt with within the ICANN process: Squashing 
existing businesses isn't something you can fix by establishing and 
enforcing a consensus policy - just like illegal advertising, 
defamation, and all that stuff.  Hoarding, however, is an issue 
which could be fixed that way - and it should be fixed, _before_ WLS 
can start.
