Subject: ICANN rules regarding new TLD's

Message:
 

 
Where are the standards and rules defining who can receive licenses for New TLDs and who will not?  Where are the rules here?

_______

Surely you jest!  Do you think that there are rules involved in this entire process?  Here is one standard though:  Is anybody with influence within ICANN involved in a business that will benefit from running a new TLD registry?  If so, the answer may very well be yes.

Other than that, ICANN is so opaque that I am not sure anybody knows what the rules and standards are, other than the nebulous questions required in the new TLD applications.
