Some of you have heard my assessment of "gaming" in ICANN.

If someone does something that is completely 
within the rules, and you LIKE what they are doing, it is called "innovation".

If you don't like it, it is called "gaming".

This is similar. I see no way to prevent this in 
rules that we or others can make.
