They aren't NSI's... rather they are allocated by the majority of the gTLD
constituency, just like in every other constituency.
Who am I to complain that those wise board members who set forth the
constituencies did so without thinking through all of this.

I have a direct stake in all of this and I have been apportioned zero vote
by the ICANN board.
That's not a very complicated or subtle issue.
The interesting part is how ICANN's behaviour has managed to make NSI
look good by contrast.
