That is *REALLY* rich coming from someone who used to work for New.net, a
private company that has attempted to steal (yes, that's the correct
word) exclusive control of numerous TLDs without even a pretense of
community consensus. It makes your argument seem disingenuous at best.
As to your larger point: the fact that not everyone who participates in
the process gets his way doesn't necessarily mean the process is rigged.
Another possibility is that his opinion is in the minority.
