I did not comment during the earlier discussion. Just keeping up with 
all the postings was hard. By the time I caught up and was ready to 
voice my opinion others had already made the point better than I.

Dave and Andrew state well the conclusion I came to. It would be a good 
outcome if the ownership was transfered but not worth a fight with the 
current owner. I didn't view ICAN as an opponent in this transition as 
it seems others did. I thought it could be an act of good will if the 
ownership of the names was just voluntarily transfered with out the fuss 
of putting it in transition documents. All the legal argumentation that 
took place in the WG was really beside the point.
