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,

order to subsidise fixing those already available. With currently falling
revenues and rising costs due to inflation, ICANN is under pressure to create
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
