  Problem with this comment, even at the time, is that the IANA did not
have the authority to delegate any TLD's and still doesn't.

  gTLD's should be considered a public resource indeed.  As such the
PUIBLIC
should be making this decision as to what gTLD's should be added and
whom,
and under what conditions or circumstances those gTLD's and managed. 
Not
CORE, the IANA, or any DNSO, unless those organizations have an
Individual Membership Organization which has voting power on these
potential
policy decisions as Stakeholders/users.
