If the Domain Industry was a Public-Listed Company...

This thread is for fun! I am not too sure where to post this thread. Initially wanted to post this in the break-room but the break-room stated: Non-domain related. So I would just post this here since it is technically domain-related O.o

If the entire Domain Industry is a public-listed company:

- ICANN is the CEO and Accounts Department
- IANA and WIPO are the Head of Human Resource Section
- TLDs owners are the General Managers
- Registrars (inc. reseller registrars) are Section Leaders or Managers
- General domainers, flippers, speculators are the General Workers
- Forums, Lawyers, Conferences, Aftermarkets, Media (blogs, etc) are the supporting industry players and Sub-contractors

- Companies, general public, practically anyone else or end-users are the customers
- Governments, key industry players, general public who uses the internet are the Stake-Holders

- Board of Directors includes: ICANN, IANA, Associations (D.N.A, etc), WIPO, Clearing Houses

- Share-Holders are everyone owning at least a domain or related to the domain industry

An interesting question would be what will be the total market value of such company.

Haha, this industry virtually own everything that is literally online today including the deep web (except for intranet). This "public-listed company" would own and control trillions of dollars. Every business, human, software, anything using the internet, cloud, software, etc relies on this "company". The world would go back to pre-1980s.

P.S. Forgot to include network companies, computers, OS companies etc as supporting industry players and Sub-contractors.
