The operative word I used was "independent".
The ORSC is working with an independent name space. It created an
independent name space, as it was free to do. It has been independently
administering it. So ORSC and ICANN are driving on indepednent name highways.
No collisions are possible BETWEEN the two, independent activities.
If ORSC has a problem with the policies it has chosen for its independent
activity, it is free to change them. No one is preventing them from making
that change. Certainly not ICANN.
All of this changes, of course, if someone tries to force an overlap of
these otherwise independent name spaces.
Oh. That's right. That's what ORSC has independently chosen to do and is
now trying to retroactively fix by claiming the need for some sort of
meta-name space administration that overlaps ORSC with ICANN.
