I agree with Avri. Also agree with John that the barrier of entry 
moneywise weeds out quite a few flowers before they get a chance to 
get into a seed packet, and to mix a metaphor, many have and will die 
on the vine. But if someone wants to enter that marketplace, and has 
a technical plan that won't screw up everyone else, why not? ICANN's 
answer is always colored by hmm, how will they sue us if we approve 
this? and let's not forget the ever-popular, "but what will the GAC 
say?"
