Well, 8 with Lee and Langford. Despite the fact all are Republicans and the obvious politicisation of the issue, these representations are still worth paying attention to. Rubio's letter is concerning because, if we ignore the fear-mongering about the role of governments / GAC, it raises a reasonable question: "should we hand over the role before we have tested the proposed model?" Of course, this is a Catch-22 where the model can never be truly tested until there is no NTIA involvement. However, these political interventions are not as aggressive as in the past and may just be nuanced enough to make some stakeholders consider the assertions made within them.
