Given the evidence that other single-letter domains have been allocated 
quite recently in the domains administered by NSI, I now think that the 
necessary next step is for NSI to explain their policy of allocation of 
these domains, since I do not understand it.

ICANN has (IMHO) no business interfering in single allocations; the 
question of who is going to own "k.com" is IMHO not an ICANN matter.
The question of what policy to follow is (IMHO) a matter where ICANN may 
have input.
