Hi Vanda,
Its a tricky situation if you consider the following statement at the end of the article which i tend to agree with.'
One challenge I foresee is that ICANN sometimes hires people from the
industry because of their specialized knowledge. It might be difficult
to attract these people if they can’t return to industry companies.
ICANN would need to compensate them for the restriction. I also wonder
if employment laws in various states and countries would limit the
ability to enforce cooling off provisions.
There are never guarantees with Domain Name Business, for the businesses to thrive various factors such as Marketing, Pricing , customer service , reliability and trust come into play. Provided there is no conflict of interest, we should maintain the status quo. We risk over regulating and stifling innovation in the very industry we are trying to build.
