Ross,
Your connection to this statement by the gTLD Constituency to the activity
of NeuStar and NeuLevel is completely misplaced. It stems from the
introduction of .museum, .aero and .ccop who have not had much cooperation
from the ISPs and was primarily sponsored by them.
The entire constituency stands behind the comments contained therein.

That's what I thought. I wonder if there's any connection between this
pronouncement and the Wildcard DNS "experiments" that Neulevel was doing
with .biz as George pointed out.
Did anyone read the underlying RFC that they were using in support of
their claims? It was certainly a different shade of "the filtering
problem" than what their letter implied...
