[At-Large] Strange Bedfellows

[Evan Leibovitch]

On reading the Domain Tasting report, one thing stood out to me as the
most surprising; the nature other constituencies that most closely
matched, and most strongly opposed, the ALAC point of view.

Specifically -- while I expected the Registry constituency to oppose

Of course, now I have a genuine curiosity to know what drove the NCUC to
defend a practice that seems to be hated by everyone else who doesn't
gain financially from it. So much for NPOs and academics claiming to act
