  In fact you can set up a web site at DMC.web and acess it if you adjust your browser to view the other domain roots.

If Afilias sell DMC.web to someone else then you still have rights to your site.

ICANN knew what was going on, the debate over the whole IANA deal is unproven either way and as a part of their critisism of IOD ICANN actually acknowledge that IOD has been dealing .web for five years. They refer to pre-registrations but even that is legally acceptable.

At the time IOD started registering "pioneer preference" was an established way of marking your territory on the net (like .com did).

The way I see it - either IOD gets .web or the whole process falls apart.

With lost confidence in ICANN I wonder what it would take for a move away from ICANN?

The other roots all recognise and avoid duplicating .com .net and so forth.
