An old guy named Melvin Belli told me while preparing a closing argument in a wrongful death case "if you cannot dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit".  He confessed he thought the line had its' origin in Socratian Greek.
 
Well this is "greek" to me and it seems like a bafflement attempt. If we assume that the authors of this missive are competent in English - maybe erroneous - then we have to assume that they intend to bullshit us.

sTLD Update:
ICANN Moves Forward in First Phase
Commercial & Technical Negotiations with an Additional sTLD Applicant

1 June 2005


ICANN is pleased to announce that the independent evaluation process, which began last year, has resulted in a further sponsored Top Level Domain (sTLD) application moving to the next stage. 

As the process for selecting new sponsored Top Level Domain (sTLDs) continues from a pool of ten applications, ICANN has now entered into commercial and technical negotiations with an additional candidate registry, ICM Registry, Inc, (.XXX).

ICANN recently announced the designation of two new sponsored Top-Level Domains (sTLDs), .JOBS and .TRAVEL at the 22nd ICANN International meeting in Mar del Plata, Argentina.

ICANN has also recently entered into commercial and technical negotiations with the following additional candidate registries, .CAT, .POST & .MOBI.

Discussions continue among ICANN Board and Staff regarding the evaluation of four additional proposed sponsored Top Level Domains (sTLDs): .ASIA, .MAIL, .TEL-Pulver, & .TEL-Telnic.

An update on the status and progress of the additional applicants will be made as they proceed further through the process. 

Please address any media enquires concerning the registry applicant, ICM, to Stuart Lawley +1 (202) 585- 0259 or visit www.icmregistry.com for more information. For any enquires concerning ICANN please email press@xxxxxxxxxx
