I want to bring to your attention the obvious that your being a
hipocrit. If you believe in the first come first served principle - as I
do, then I suggest you should practice what you preach.
As you know your claim to the tld .union is second to that of name.space -
which has had an opperational .union tld for some years. This has been
brought to your attention on a number of occassions. ICANN does not
control the root servers process. So one has to police oneself in the tld
area and the "first come first served" is the rule used.
So - if you really beleive that you should drop your claim to .union or
make some arrangements with name.space. There are legacy issues -
existing users in the .union tld space. So - James - either you respect
the principle and practice what you preach - or your full of it.
