Your first mistake is in believing the ISOC
party-line that ICANN has been entrusted with
anything important. You were suckered.
As for .INFO, Vinton Cerf (the Chairman of ICANN
who took over after Esther Dyson's failure in that
role) has made it clear that 4-letter TLDs do not
work on his narrow-minded Internet. Why would he
respond to something he and other ISOC and IETF
insiders intend to destroy ?
(Note: .INFO is now giving names away for FREE
in an attempt to counter the Cerf agenda to kill
them off)
Cerf finally has his .ORG TLD and all of the
revenue from that. He and all of the insiders
from his days as a DARPA funding source can now
retire and travel around telling everyone they
run the Internet. The average consumer in the .USA [TLD hint] does not know what .ORG is or
care. They want their .MP3 and .TV and .XXX.
As for .INFO, they will survive if the collective
force of the .INFO owners take .INFO beyond the
proof-of-concept market trials before Cerf kills
them off. Your energy may be better spent doing
that as opposed to speaking to the deaf ears at
ICANN.

Mr. Henderson, It would appear you have gotten an answer but not a reply.

You can imagine seeing a reply 20 years old from
ICANN and Cerf. That gives you a sense for how
far ICANN and Cerf are from humans.

You can imagine seeing an image which is 20 minutes old coming from Mars, so you are seeing where your rover was 20 minutes ago.
If you want to move it somewhere, you move the joystick to say "go right' - but the rover will not hear that for another 20 minutes, so we have this 40 minutes' round-trip time.
If you have steered it in some direction which is going to get it in trouble, like going over a cliff, by the time you find out 20 minutes later it is long gone.
So there is no such notion as "now" in an environment where things are so far apart.

If you want to get a sense of what ICANN is all
about, go watch the movie E.T. It is on tape and
DVDs and even on the .NET on .EARTH and .MARS.
Don't ask Cerf where that is, he had no clue.
ICANN and the ISOC are illustrated in the movie
E.T. as all of that regulation and beauracracy
that descended on that household where E.T. was
hiding.
Only the children could save E.T.
Go ride a bike, it may give you a clue.

R.H., More receptive to "constructive" criticism, not "destructive" criticism.

Earth to ICANN in California takes approximately 4 months - the time necessary to fix GA archives, which broke on April 20, 2004, and have been announced fixed today September 26, 2004:

Earth to Mars is in tens of minutes.
