It is the new TLD evaluation all over again. ICANN decides on the result that they want, and then instructs the evaluators to produce that result. Where are the original materials from the new TLD evaluation? All we ever saw was the staff summary. Where are the original documents from the technical evaluators and ICANN's accounting firm, Arthur Andersen?
If this isn't the strongest argument that ICANN is, in a word, corrupt, I don't know what is.
ICANN has now defrauded over 50 applicants, between the new TLDs and .ORG application processes. They accepted $50000 and $35000 application fees, knowing ahead of time who would be chosen.
It's time that ICANN be held accountable for these acts. Is anyone listening?

SFAIK, Arthur Andersen is not, and has not, been ICANN's accounting firm. That is a rumor that refuses to die. They did serve as consultants for the new TLD application process, which is not the same thing at all. Other than that, I agree with you. -g
