This is what experimentation is to determine.

The whole story is simple.
1. Competition is something you can only prevent by monopoly. You 
have two form of monopoly: state (law)  and radical (politically 
correct). Currently the US law and the ICANN politically correct are 
enforced and contested (currently three accepted VGNICs: ICANN, China, ORSN).
2. Someone has to endorse the decision to deregulate. But no one 
wants to be accused of the possible mess. So they look for a 
scapegoat. I*coalition agreed that the scapegoat would be "economy" 
(RFC 6852). ICANN proposed them to make BRICS, i.e. the US oponents 
in Dubai, the scapegoat through Sao Paulo.

The VGN concept, supported by the http://vgnics.net proposition of 
experimental enhanced cooperation, respects the IETF Tao, the 
currently enforced ICANN policy (ICP-3) and the resolutions of the 
WSIS, in introducing an experimentation. We will see if a polycratic 
MS solution emerge (we mutually inform one another and each one 
decides for him/her/itself). If it does we have the solution. If it 
does not we will know that MS (we discuss but not apply for 10 years) 
is not the good solution. In any case it is a side contribution that 
does not interfer with any other discussion. However, other solutions 
could benefit from its experience and result and should take its 
experimental project into account.
