So it is worse than I realised?  If I've understood you ICANN believes itself 
to be free to break anything to create revenue for itself and sees no 
obligation to fix what is broken as a result? That's a pretty depressing state 
of affairs.    best C  Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond wrote:  Dear Christian,

more revenue streams and a quick fix is to go for another new gTLD round. As 
for "fixing" TLDs that are already available, ICANN not being a regulator, it 
is argued that it is not in its mandate to fix anything, except if the new 
gTLDs endanger the actual technical stability of the DNS, which we've seen is 
not the case. Kindest regards,  Olivier
