How many times do you have to be told that YOU ARE WRONG?

NSF specifically directed TLD applications to IANA when NSI asked them what
to do. NSF then told IANA to take them but not to make changes. IANA then
started the IAHC fiasco and NSF divested themselves of the headache.

Correct, for what good it does. They said, "take the info, work on the
process,
but don't move without us." So they did all of the above. I'm only concerned
with
the "take the info" part. The rest is history.
