Roberto,

Prior applications submitted under should really be an agenda item. 
Responsibility for these prior applications has been assumed by ICANN under 
the "USC/ICANN Transition Agreement". The receiving of delegation requests 
is specifically mandated in the "Contract Between ICANN and the United 
States Government for Performance of the IANA Function":

Contract Between ICANN and the United States Government for Performance of 
the IANA Function
http://www.icann.org/general/iana-contract-09feb00.htm

       12.3 CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS

       NTIA has a requirement for a contractor to maintain the smooth
       operation of the Internet by performing the technical functions
       collectively known as the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
       (IANA). The IANA technical functions are currently operated by
       the Information Sciences Institute at the University of Southern
       California pursuant to a contract with the Department of
       Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency. In performance of
       this purchase order, the contractor shall perform the following
       IANA functions:

       - Administrative functions associated with root management.
         This function involves facilitation and coordination of the
         root zone of the domain name system. It includes receiving
         requests for and making routine updates of ccTLD contact and
         nameserver information. It also includes receiving delegation
                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
         and redelegation requests, investigating the circumstances
         pertinent to those requests, and reporting on the requests.


USC/ICANN Transition Agreement
http://www.icann.org/general/usc-icann-transition-agreement.htm

     1. ALLOCATION OF FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. Effective on
        the Effective Date, under the authority of NTIA, IANA
        relinquishes and ICANN assumes the performance of the
        following functions and responsibilities previously
        performed by USC as the IANA project under the TNT Contract:

        (b) Establishment, oversight, and implementation of policy
            for the Internet Domain Name System ("DNS"), including
            delegation of responsibilities to DNS registries and
            registrars;

        (d) Oversight of the operation of the Internet root server
            system.
