When I look at the .pro operation, I see a TLD that
has so far been sponsored by two different
organizations (first the folks at RegistryPro --
actually the register.com registry team -- and later
the Hostway people).  The TLD has very very few
registrations (although a large and dubious chunk is
attributable to the efforts of EnCirca).  

Should this TLD be deemed a failure and retired, or
should the contract be rebid with yet another operator
given an opportunity to make a go of it?

Knowing ICANN [sigh], this TLD will probably be resold
again without any public input into the process.
