ICANN = US quango

.NET = being delegated to ...  the US ... again ... Mountain View, CA 94043, USA

.ORG = 1775 Wiehle Avenue, Suite 102A, Reston, VA 20190, USA

.COM = 487 East Middlefield Road, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA

.INFO = 300 Welsh Road, Horsham, PA 19044, USA

.BIZ = 46000 Center Oak Plaza, Sterling, VA 20166, USA

Um... there are actually 200 other countries in the world ...

The continual delegation of gTLDs to predominantly American companies is a farce.

This whole industry is run by insiders

  Upon further research into Telcordia and .NET I find the dates and lack thereof interesting.
  ICANNS posted on May 3rd. with apparently no date of authorship;
  ICANN Posts Telcordia Review of Findings
  Telcordia published a review of their evaluation report in light of letters received from .NET applicants and responded to the questions raised.
  3 May 2005

  Telcordias revision dated May 2nd. Posted some 20+ days later. If I were suspicious I would conclude that there was a preordained conclusion with public knowledge and input being a facade. Colusion in the writing and preparing and release of data in order to give the appearance of propriety and openness and transparency and actually listening to input. Well orchestrated stage presence but faulty in execution. But then again who cares until they are screwed by a fate complete?
