Quite true.

No, it's not.  If there is anything that ICANN has been very careful 
about, it is avoiding antitrust.  It has been, as I said, a primary 
concern from the very beginning.

In general, getting affected entities involved in the decision making
process is not at all necessary to avoid anti-trust.  For example, we
don't deal with Microsoft by holding at large elections for the board of
directors of Microsoft.
