Ah yes - the old ostrage position.  So you dismiss the 2.5 million users
in the nation of Turkey and 1.2 million Tiscali users as non stakeholders.
Over 3.7 million users who are dependent on the public root for root
service and you consider these people small patatoes?  Thats rich.

At WSIS this year alternative roots and the public root in particular will
be the topic of discussion behind many closed doors.  Lets hope the Turkey
delegates have their answers ready.
