Distraction tactics, Jefsey.

The crucial findings from Ben's report are these:

- The largest portion of the registrations happened AFTER the MdR 
   decisions.

- At the point of time of that decision, there were only FIVE 
   distinct domain name holders, that is, Leah's .biz was hardly more 
   than a toy.

- The oldest SLD was registered on October 23, 2000, three weeks 
   before the MdR meeting.
   
   It's instructive to look at ICANN document publication dates at 
   <http://www.icann.org/announcements/>:
   
    October 23, 2000
    TLD Application Review Update
    
    October 13, 2000
    TLD Application Review Update
    
    October 5, 2000
    TLD Application Review Update

   The October 5 document has a link to a list of the domains for 
   which ICANN had received applications.  This list included .biz.

Thus, Leah's claim that ICANN is creating a collider is NOT backed 
up by facts.

Get real.
