This is all so irrelevant.  First of all tucows listing of dot.moo will
probably happen on the alternates - simply put if it works in accordance
with RFC - it's listed.

As for permission - namespace requires no permission - it is controlled by
the end user and if the end user wants it - they get it.  That sort of
thing may evade you - but we call it customer service.  Something which
seems a bit out of style these days.  That's why ICANN is falling
apart.  People don't like ICANN and if given an opportunity to switch -
they switch.

Maybe I should present this in simpler terms for you.  Think of namespace
as a service.  You can get you ol flat rate service via the United States
Government servers (ICANN) and see a limited namespace.  Or you can
upgrade to unlimited namespace at no cost.

Your other remarks are very irrelevant.  I say only this - those who can
do - and those who can't attend ICANN meetings.

cheers ;-)
