Where are the documents, Roeland?   I'll settle for references to real official
documents.  That's really not too much to ask, is it?

The ORSC archives contain the ORSC's take on the issue, which is far from the
actual factual accounting of what happened, and the real, not presumed,
authority behind it.

Mailing lists are not documents that prove authority, they only present the
opinions of the members of those lists.  When I see a document from the NSF
that specifically states that IANA had the authority to introduce new gTLDS
(something even Sexton has recently said they didn't have on a usenet
discussion with Jon Postel's brother) I will be satisified.

Anything else is just more presumption, which is what led to these problems to
begin with.
