It is true that Chris Ambler and Jay Fenello for that matter have good
potential cases. In IOD's situation they already have two strikes against
them. ON being the already known one in respect to the gTLD-MoU
court action, the other being that Chris is going to have a personal
creditability problem under cross, and likely in discovery as well
as other potential areas with other potential witnesses as well...
Now a joint class action suit would be a somewhat different matter...

As has already been pointed out, the number of gTLD's is not really
relevant to the point of the creditability of the plaintiff....
