I actually think that it is a good thing that the implementation is 
evolving based on needs and reality and that the policy dictated by 
the GNSO several years ago is not locked in stone. But it is the 
process that is being used and how the decisions are being made that 
I strongly object to.

This is something that perhaps the PDP-WT should be addressing. For 
major policy directions like new gTLDs, how does the "final" PDP 
outcome evolve as needed without destroying the consensus-based 
process that created it.
