Dear Mr. Watzek:

You are certainly right on that issue:-(

Your applications have been earmarked for submission if and when there is a 
"mini-landrush" after all of the Sunrise applications have been 
successfully challenged.  We will *not* submit them to Afilias during the 
Queue1 Landrush.

That is the model which we at PSI-Japan support and we are strongly urging 
that it or a comparable model be implemented after all of the Challenges 
are complete and the successfully challenged domains are released for 
re-registration.
