This is my wrap up on this topic for now. As an economist I am a 
supporter of market based decisions, but also a supporter of the right 
rules of the game (or engagement). At that level my views are similar to 
those expressed by Nicolas Adam. Where I differ is about the need for, 
and growth of, some policies -at different levels and in different 
places- to confront issues that are not settled by market forces, nor 
within the existing rules of the game.

That difference produces a set of testable hypotheses, both around 
Internet governance and policy, and where ICANN and its constituency 
groups will end up in what unfolds. For this NCSG discussion, the 
constituencies can watch, place their bets as they wish, and maybe swim 
in the other policy ponds at the same time. There are other policy 
ponds. This will unfold quickly enough that we will all get to see the 
next chapter in Internet governance. Put on seat belts!
