1) Maintain the status quo. While it may not meet the objective of not alienating anyone, it should maintain current levels of alienation.

2) Develop a thoughtful and practical redesign of the DNS ecosystem taking into account current and expected issues:
	+ Separate policies from contracts
	+ Reduce information available to public (OPOC?, or TWOPOC)
	+ Have a two-level WHOIS system (public, vetted access)
	+ Mandate SLAs for Registrars, Registries, Registrants
	+ Establish clear takedown policies, and enforce them (criminal activity)
	+ Bring Privacy and Proxy services under the umbrella

3) Forget about DNS (sorry KKR)
