Larry writes, "But the message floating around the registrar constituency, (apparently passed on by someone at ICANN and/or Verisign to registrars in attendance at Melbourne was) "this thing is going to fly, give us a short list and we may consider some changes." Many registrars (some who had just been granted the new TLD's and some who are still gunning for new TLD's) were not going to fight ICANN very hard on this whole issue. Understand why? (Unless you want to consider what they did do: "uh, we object, Hmm. By the way, if you must approve please consider these changes.." .)"
After Yokahama there was a private registrar meeting called, attended by Roger Cochetti and Michael Palage. (I recollect that either Sims or Touton was there as well.)
This was not a "discussion" meeting; no minutes were taken. Registrars were told that IP protections were going to be instilled in the new registry contracts; that congress was "in their pockets" or something to that effect so don't bother complaining; and that if they wanted approval of any new TLDs at all, to lay down and shut up.
At least at Marina Del Rey they were told their concerns might be considered. Post Yokahama they were just gang-bang bullied.
(My source is a gentleman who was at the meeting.)
