I believe the IAHCs mind was closed before they begun to discuss the issues.

That much is obvious.  The input from the community was *completely*
ignored, except for small portions of Simon's draft.

The remainder, all the work which has been actually done, the services
actually operating, the businesses actually using and running existing
registries (IANA sanctioned or not) -- completely ignored.

Nice try guys.  You marginalized yourselves; don't be surprised at the
