It cannot be argued that on the one hand IOD is set to make its millions at the expense of the other ICANN regestrars, while at the same time being unable to handle the rush.

At the very worst it must be one or the other!!

It would be odd for a company to invest so much money and time and then, at the roll out find that it was losing a % of business and funds because it was not ready. This suggestion is just mad!

Similarly, when the gTLDs are alocated there must be a time period over which they can be implemneted. You cannot just turn them on. Most applicants don't even know the name of the TLD that they might be running.

ALL of ICANNs reservations about IOD are based entirely on internal interests with Afilias.

From the advice ICANN receives professionally - right through to discussions with other ICANN members over lunch ICANN is riddled with individuals that are on the pay roll of applicant firms.

Four members cannot vote because of this issue, Ken Stubbs is directly linked to Afilias, Core, Who (Core), JVTeam (Core), iDomain, Melbourne IT (Core)and Neustar (Core) +? others??.

The evaluation team was made up of three members of the same company that represents CORE.

How much more do you need?

The only reason IOD's registry is not already active is because they haven't entererd into this activity.

None of the applicants dropped so far were in the CORE-club.

All of the CORE-club applicants have progressed

As if to spell the point out to make it even clearer - the "involvement of CORE" is actually used as a "strength" in the evaluation if idomain's .biz application. IDomain is a Ken Stubbs company as is CORE. They were evaluated by the company paid to represent CORE.

What chance do the other.biz applicants actually have??

The problem is that we either believe that ICANN is daft enough to not notice (and that doesn't make you over confident in them) or arogant enough to think they will just get away with it (and again, the confidence is not overflowing with that one either).

Its going to be one of those weeks - I can tell!
