[At-Large] New gTLDs

I'd rather hear the plausible story that these these U.S.-based  
companies (Verisign, Afilias, Neustar) plan on telling the  
governments of China, Russia, Iran and so on as to why they get to  
run the IDN versions of COMMERCIAL, INFORMATION and BUSINESS in the  
official languages of their countries simply by virtue of having an  
ICANN contract for .COM, .INFO and .BIZ.

Really, I'd like to hear that one. Not that their answer really  
matters though, because when you allow these U.S. companies to use  
DNAME to extend their ICANN-franchise into other countries and other  
languages, you'll just chase the Chinese, Russian, Iranian and other  
governments of the world into their own walled DNS gardens and  
proprietary roots.
