Can you, as an IAHC committee member, point me to the relevent
documentation that supports that statement? Where is the documentation
defining the various classes of TLD, and how applications for each
class of TLD get processed?

(If you can't do this as a committe member, then please do it as an
ordinary iahc-discuss list member)

I'm sure this mysterious documentation will solve most of the current
questions.
