What's the sensational aspect of this? Does Afilias really have any right
to some of these .info domains? Same thing applies to NeuLevel, and (I
suspect)
the .NAME operator.

What's also insteresting, I think, is the TLD agreement, in which:
3.6.4. As instructed from time to time by ICANN, Registry Operator
shall maintain the registration of up to 5000 domain names within
the domain of the Registry TLD for use by ICANN and other organizations
responsible for coordination of the Internet's infrastructure.
So, ICANN gets 5000 domain names, free. :)
