You could try complaining to ICANN but I don't think you and I combined have enough money to warrant notice. If you are a big, rich company ICANN will let you do anything you want. If not, all you will get is a "Bugger off". Verisign is my proof of this. Notice that through this whole thing we have not heard a peep out of ICANN. Vixie has noticed, all the screaming fingers on Slashdot have noticed. Basicly every geek I know or know of has been going on about this. ICANN is completely silent. So much for independent oversight. What was the name of the guy who, a few years ago, tried to start his own tld? He is starting to look less like a crackpot.
