Kevin;

Its become very clear that you are going to keep making the same
comments this topic from now until the end of time. However, the
answer will not change, so I for one am going to stop answering, at
least for a while. I will repeat what I have said before one last
time.

If you don't like the delegation of .AE to the UAE's PTT, then you
have means of redress to the UAE's court system and government. There
is no mechanism available to the IANA or any other organization to
deal with your dispute. There isn't going to be a mechanism for the
IANA or any other organization to deal with your dispute. Your
continued requests for the IANA to intervene in the internal affairs
of a sovereign nation are becoming very repetitive, and the answer is
certain to remain the same no matter how often you ask it.

I cannot conceive of the circumstances in which the IANA could
intervene in the affairs of a sovereign state. In spite of Karl's
repeated foolish comments on the subject, the IANA has never claimed
to be a court, international or otherwise, and isn't likely to want to
become one any time soon. Can you imagine what the government of the
UAE would do if it did and then attempted to intervene in internal UAE
affairs? It certainly wouldn't be pretty. Sovereign states get angry
about external interference in their affairs. You appear to have a
considerable amount of naivete about this, but its clear that no one
can disabuse you of it. I'm going to stop trying -- I've posted this
one more time simply to try to make it clear to others what it is that
you are asking.
