I guess maybe that's my point.  The parties you mention are only
a small subset of a much larger array of parties - especially
the diverse Internet industry.  Few parties, if any,
have completely accepted any results - because only the general 
outline of those results are portrayed.  Thus far, it appears
to look good to the industry, although this will be a continuing,
iterative process.

What is important is that there is now a lawful, open, broadly
participatory process for achieving those results, that establishes
a level playing field rather than one centered around only a handful
of players.  There is also a high degree of trust in the fairness and 
neutrality of the process and the people/person responsible for the 
process.  This is plainly evident at all of the many large industry
forums to which Magaziner has made presentations over the past month,
and especially the past week.
