My statement was in no way an NIH response. I stated factually that the

In no way did I make any statement with regards to whether we ought to
talk to ICANN.
You also made no statement about your intention to contact ICANN and
open a dialog with them. What you did do was attempt to demonstrate your
thorough knowledge of the topic, as well as your familiarity with
ICANN's solutions; which to me sounds like justification for NOT
contacting them. Sounds pretty NIH'y to me, but I would be happy to be
proven wrong.
So rather than accusing me of an ad hominem attack (which, FWIW, is also
a form of ad hominem attack), why not simply address the question
directly? Will you contact ICANN to open up a dialog, and if not, why not?
