> People have to "trust" they will do the right thing. That is why they are called Trustees.
> Some people think they can only trust one of the Trustees, so they naturally want to select .US.
> Others only can trust 2, so they select .US and .VI. Some can trust 3, and they add .CALIFORNIA.
> With 4 .IOWA will keep them honest. If you divide the $168,000,000 by only 4, then each

> it should not be hard to contribute one month's revenue on an annual basis. If they only generate
