The problem is these dumbasses spent a fortune developing the proposal and the infrastructure for this domain, which no one wants, and which they are trying to sell to two different audiences (industry and legislators) by talking out of two different sides of their mouth.

When you've blown through half a million bucks (or whatever the number is), you can bet that you're going to try everything to get people to accept your proposal.

Let's hope ICANN will just say "fuck off, we've already dealt with this and told you no."
