It's also a waste of energy trying to work through DoC since their reply 
will be that they will not interfere with TLD decisions made by ICANN 
just as they did with .BIZ in 2001.  That is unless they have changed 
stripes since then (seriously doubt it).

The only way I can think of to produce results is an expensive lawsuit 
and look what has happend thus far with Dotster's attempt regarding WLS. 
 The USG has set things up very well.  It will be extemely difficult to 
challenge ICANN unless the USG is willing to step in with oversight and 
that seems unlikely so far.

My question is why is the world allowing ICANN to get away with this 
when changing roots would accomplish more.  Make ICANN irrelevant.
