You define serious steps as running a registry without sanction.  I define it
as participating in this process and working for the opening of the gTLD arena.

There is no talk of exclusion, merely of everyone being on the same level
playing field, and their applications being considered on their own merits,
without regard for their weak claims at "prior use" or "prior actions." 

That is what is fair.  Many have participated in this process and waited for
this reason alone.  Not to be branded a renegade and to have an opportunity to
be considered on their merits.
