So clearly I'm being stupid, then, and I beg your indulgence, but what
does this sentence from the original notice mean:

>> all resellers, regardless of submission date, have
>> an EQUAL chance of being awarded the .info domain

Since only one reseller can submit a request for any given domain, it's
clearly NOT "regardless of submission date" -- in fact, it's first come,
first served, right?

I guess my confusion is that "regardless of submission date" means (to
me) that you can apply later and still perhaps get the domain. But that's
not true -- you won't even be allowed to apply tomorrow if someone else
at another reseller has already done so today, correct?
