"I think we all shot ourselves in the foot demanding "minimum criteria" for new registries."
you have to have a base line to draw from. A starting point, if you will. Then meaningful debate can begin towards consensus and removal of subjectivity. Up to now, ICANN has successfully avoided this where "minimum criteria" is concerned. It should have articulated this for discussion 3 years ago. Whether (or how) it will continue to avoid doing so is the question to me. But little surprises me anymore.

Anon writes:the minimum criteria set for new registries will probably be based on Verisign/Neulevel - sized models, virtually eliminating small players, like IOD. Au contraire. From M. Stuart Lynn's statements (which he made long ago supposedly speaking for the committee which ultimately said that it wasn't making any such determinations), and from the multiple and continuing pratfalls of Verisign/Neulevel - sized models, I suspect that what we will see (if any at all) are sponsored-restricted models like .aero and .museum. This lack of new competition (the opposite of what the old and new MoU supposedly require) allows ICANN's Verisign/Neulevel - sized models a better chance of survival (and note they're the first choices to get .org) as a USG protected, and created, cartel. And it still virtually eliminates IOD. -g

The last I read their financial reports, IOD could muster the same level of financing that Neulevel and Afilias put into their registries, combined.
Seems to me that money isn't the issue there.

There's an old adage: a leopard doesn't change it's spots.

IMHO, another "act with impunity" rubber stamp of approval. Quite a bit of reform at ICANN to deserve it, like...the new tld selection and rollout, open records for directors and the responsiveness to constituents questions of which Richard Henderson can attest to.
