Stability of the Internet?

It was not a troll. Tim has been involved in ICANN issues for quite some

are looking at exactly this issue. Points have been raised and Tim simply
seems to be trying to gather information. Since many/none of you do not seem
to be involved there, he is asking here. Believe it or not, your input is
desired.
