Simon,

in 1994 through 1996 the IANA guidance was experemental, and the IAHC came
out of all that. I have alot of respect for the folks that tried to move
things allong, that had no interntion to use the corts or had the grand
desire of wealth. I don't think the iTLD movements are applicable 4 to 6
years later, not internet-years (remember the term?) regular years!

This is the year 2000, we should have setteled all those issues along time
ago. Its all history if we can just move on now, please ?!?

this is NOW, not 1995. we need one root and we need those same folks that
wanted new gTLD back in 1995 to realize that it took along time and the
Internet is not the same as it ws back then. I wish you would realize we
are finally comming up to a real chance to get additional gTLDs inserted
into the IANA roots. 

Don't you remember how all this started?
