Good point Paul!

As I read Amazon´s deposition for their case, I though hilarious the 
fact alleged by Amazon that most  BCG committee members where at the 
same time members of the committee that assigned the new TLDs in the 
first place (NGC…. or something like that), violating an internal ams 
length separation between themselves.

Even if it is not  valid legal argument, it fails some basic concepts of 
internal separation of responsibilities/accountabiliyt within the board 
(in my personal legally challenged view).
