ICANN has over 20 applications for generic TLDs still pending, for which the applicants paid $50,000 each. ICANN has said many times that these applications have not been turned down, but were simply not approved in the first round.
Now ICANN says no more rounds for them.
Do they get their $50,000 back? If not, isn't that a breach of the contract that they signed?
ICANN needs to be sued, I agree.

ICANN didn't say that new TLDs would not be introduced, just that open & unsponsored TLDs like .info & .biz didn't look like the way to go.

It's not up to ICANN to make that kind of decision. There are companies out there that want to compete. ICANN is not a market guardian, they are a technical coordination body. A body that's clearly overstepping its bounds.

Technical coordination, market guardian, what's the difference. DoC has placed responsibilty with ICANN to coordinate the DNS. ICANN, and many others, seem to think that the best way is to go slow, rather than throw open the system without respect for any law.

What's the difference? You're either ignorant or you're trolling. I'm going to guess both.
