I don't think Afilias will really be in the running for .NET. Under Microsoft and Nokia direction .MOBI will consume all of Afilias' implementation resources for at least the next 12 months. It would be an amazing challenge for Afilias to satisfy MSFT needs for .MOBI AND transition .NET.

I believe I was the first to coin the term "Afilias fiasco" with regards to their sunrise process, right here on icannwatch.org. Alas the icannwatch search function doesn't seem to parse the older archives. Nevertheless, the term has since been used by the likes of theregister.co.uk and many others and for various well deserved reasons, the icannwatch archive dump for 'afilias fiasco' is here [icannwatch.org]. It is hard to imagine anything that Afilias has done as being above fiasco level, despite being handed probably the biggest plum available at MdR2K. Much as I'd hate to see .net return to Veri$lime, things could get even worse. -g
