Your desperation is really showing. Not only is the tone of your writing revealing, now you're coming up with different scenarios to support your position. We can come up with all sorts of timelines that would work, and timelines that won't. The bottom line is that with Afilias, we know there will be competition from Day 1 - regardless of the date the registry goes live. We're not guaranteed any such thing with your firm. It's a guessing game.

Furthermore, let's say that your Feb. 1 scenario happens and there is competition from Day 1. Wouldn't this have a major effect on your financials, which (to my understanding) assume that your firm is the sole registrar for the first year? Which reminds me of the (ridiculous) $15 registry fee you'll be charging. Since ICANN (properly) noted that this fee is excessive, you've stated that you're willing to lower it. Wouldn't lowering it also have a major effect on your financials, which are based on the $15 fee?
