All good things come to those who wait.
Maybe it is because they don't wish to oppose the US Federal Trade Commission:

or maybe they know you catch more flies with sugar, not vinegar:
http://www.icann.org/announcements/icann-pr29sep00.htm
or maybe there could be (gasp!) an underlying plan that can't be posted to a public
newsgroup as Tucows recognizes far reaching implications we can't begin to imagine.

maybe they are busy registering MLDN's
It appears to me (and I'm frequently wrong...) you are spouting off without really
looking into the
matter - Charles is in charge of ccTLD's, not NewgTLD's. As such he probably has
better things to do than constantly respond to redundant, ill-considered postings.
Happy Thanksgiving to Americans :)
Enjoy the rest of your workweek to everyone else! :-p

Well, Charles, that puts us squarely behind the eight ball, because other
registrars, such as name-it, from AIT are now taking preregistrations on all
four new tld's!!!. So when push come to shove, and you are still
implementing new tlds in your usual after approval manner, they will bulk
register hundreds of thousands of new domains, leaving us out in the cold.
Come on, you can do just as much! Why aren't you?
