Refusal of iPOC to bend and acknowledge that is I was not involved in the activities at that time but everything I have heard makes clear that there was no consensus at that time; there were no procedures and there was no process. As as aside I should note that were one to take a different stance, they would be forced to observe that IODesign was not the first requestor of .web. One also would need to observe that giving special status to .web would almost certainly require giving special status to all those other folk who have developed tlds that are independent of the IANA authority. One would also have a heck of a time justifying any such actions. >As a side issue, those claiming that his claim on .WEB has been >shot down just because a couple of hours of oral argument failed >to generate a temporary restraining order should not be so >confident; it's not at all rare for better prepared further >testimony to change the trial outcome from what a TRO or injunction >hearing ruled.
