<font>The question we need to ask "who benefits from the crisis" or "who wants to benefit from the crisis."

<div><span>Dear Karim,<br><br>The situation is not as simple as you want to imagine.<br><br>Why we refuse to see things as they are? Why try to distract people by saying that there is no conflict?

<br>I advise our community to do not declare victory before the result were announced by ICANN.<br><br>Let ICANN arbitrate.<br><br>However, everyone is free to draw the attention of ICANN on a fact that it considers relevant. Is not that the freedom of expression and
