Actually, and most appropriately, it is my belief that this should be
the model for building a future governance system for *gTLDs*. 

It happens that ccTLDs are already running under it (RFC 1591), which is
the point of my press release. 

There need to be some governing principls for the gTLD registries of the
future....I suggest they start with RFC 1591
