So what. They still aren't iTLD's and aren't relevant to this list. If you
have a problem with this stuff why not talk to IANA directly.

I have now collected a complete set of all 3 newdom archives. By sometime
this weekend I will make them available in two different archive formats.

One format will be a zip archive website that you can unzip on your local
machine and browse locally or use local search tools on.

The other format will be a zip archive of a reconstituted mailbox format
that will allow you to use local search tools and/or browse the messages
using PINE or Eudora. I've tested PINE on Unix and Eudora for Windows. 
Presumably other email programs will also be able to import these
mailboxes.

The GNU unzip utility is widely available for UNIX and Macintosh. PKUNZIP
is widely available for DOS. And there are other unzip tools as well.

They will be on my website this weekend and a URL posted to this list. If
IAHC wants to collect them and place them on their own web server, this
would be nice too.
