	sigh.  this will no doubt engender unhappy responses, but the
reality is that the proposal DOES grant entry for the only authorized,
existing gTLD registry, namely NSI.

	Yes, I know there are other folks who think that there are other

is done independently must be treated as independent.  Independent means
not getting special position or status.
