Come on Karl.  You were kept informed on the INAIC / UNIDT / UnifiedRoot 
experiment, or scam in the Netherlands.  You should know there are many 
corporations that have purchased TLDs.  When given a chance FedEx and 
UPS make perfect TLDs for corporations.  Works for china.

This is ICANN.  I don't think they have a clear understanding of the
