IANA lacked the authority to add new gTLDs and hence any such applications are
not valid.  The NSF made it very clear that IANA did not have the authority to
grant or create new Top level domains.  The IANA assumed it had that authority
(hoped?) but their "process" is no better than Joe Baptista saying you can
create a new TLD simply by emailing him an "application" since they lacked the
proper authority to engage in that activity.
