>I just finished speaking to someone who knows what's going on.
>Confidentially, he told me that the dnso.org group has taken the
>trademark people in for 2 reasons.

>First, they add legitimacy to the dnso.org application. They also
>have made claims that they have big companies and a lot of money
>behind them, and they've already spoken with a few ICANN members who
>are telling them that the dnso.org application will be approved.

>Secondly, their intention is to get as many of their people on the
>'names council' as possible, and then pass a resolution that no new
>TLDs shall be added until the WIPO study is complete. After that
>delay, they intend to start slowly, introducing one TLD at a time,
>starting with CORE, and passing a resolution that the 60-day wait be
>reinstated. CORE has already agreed to this.

>My source tells me that this is already a done deal, and that the big
