But surely with IOD/.web the "proof of concept" already existed and was proven!

Who cares that there are those who do not favor the expansion of namespace? Their motive is clearly connected to an interest in speculating in the current namespace; additional extensions would dillute their holdings.
True... but it's likely that a large part of the constituency for adding new TLDs has similarly self-serving motives -- this includes would-be operators of new TLD registries, as well as speculators who missed the boat on good names in currently-existent TLDs so wish the addition of new ones to give them a chance to speculate on them. Once these people do manage to grab a bunch of names in a new TLD, they're likely to change camps to the anti-expansion side to protect their investment by opposing any additional TLDs.
People who want a namespace that makes logical sense are a weak lobby compared to all the different self-interested groups.

The ICANN agreements are posted publicly in their Web site. Are you claiming that the directors don't read their own site?
