Carlos,

Nobody is suggesting that the result is straight forward,
The suggestion is that ICANN should examine its own role and see how it facilitates, or obstructs, a more level playing field.
Now, although it is registered as a not-for-profit company, in some respects it acts more like a closely held private LLC.

Dear Sam

The result is never straightforward in International Trade. I keep buying from Amazon, paying import duties to our Finance Ministry and Amazon keeps hiring people for its call center in Costa Rica. Only the local middleman was left out.

ICANN's barriers to entry are the cause
Transfer of financial resources is the result.
As well, this prevents building registry capacity in developing regions of the globe.
It also reduces registry level input, from those regions, into ICANN policy development.
Engagement requires, and builds, capacity.

I still have to quibble with this “transfer of resources’ framing of the issue.

<deleted middle content>

The real problem is that incumbent operators in North America are grabbing most of this sticky market because TLD operators from the developing world are excluded by the massive entry barriers created by ICANN. It’s not transference, its entry barriers.
