then, assuming that the venerable city of st. louis some day in the future 
might decide to raise the claim on the tld you've just proposed for opennic, 
and assuming we then follow the path you're proposing (i.e. giving up our 
claim at the first sign of a contrary request), what reason might there be 
for us to instanciate the tld in the first place?

that may sound cynical. and, as a matter fact, that's what it is. however, if 
we really manage to establish an OpenNIC corporation, a legal body, we might 
just find ourselves in the position of someone who wins a war.

however, from the myriads of mails i've been gathering from this list, the 
chance of OpenNIC to become an entity, a subject, a something at least, is 
minuscule. it's nice to be part of it (and i'm proud of being a part of 
OpenNIC), but that's all. OpenNIC is a hobby, and that's it. it is doomed to 
fail - or better: to die by exhaustion.
