One of the selling points of ICANN to Ira Magazinar was that ICANN would ONLY do Proof-of-Concept Market Trials. The IANA "task" was not slipped in the back-door at the time. That happened while people were not paying attention. As a TLD Market Trial company ICANN was supposed to develop ways to encourage "Communities" to form. People could show their Expression of Interest by registering a name and developing it. As people have seen, time has been needed to re-architect the DNS system. It is very different from 1998. Root servers are not used and ICANN has no exclusive control. The U.S. government wants to make ICANN one of many at this point. People will now see that Free Market Forces and a competitive domain industry will shape the future. Premium Registrars pulled from the Domainer population will now emerge. One could not produce those in 1998 because there was no domain industry. Many Chicken & Egg situations have now been solved. There are many Chickens and many Eggs. Some people do not like that. It is part of the Internet Evolution. More changes will be coming. There will be winners and losers. That is life.
