Fairness is the last thing I think the PGMedia position is about, Jeff.

I do not think either of them (should they bring legal actions) should work
with PGMedia unless and until PGMedia committs to setting aside their claim to
the plethora of TLDs they want to operate.
I think working with a PGMedia that is sticking to that position would be more
harm then good to their case and credibility, not to mention their chances of
success.

Did you miss the other responses on this? There is no more discovery on
appeal, Jeff. Surely someone with a law degree from the highly esteemed SMU
would know this (btw, it has been proven that this claim of a degree is false,
I am merely pointing out that if he had a law degree he would not have made
the previous comments).

If so it is a moot one. NSF made it clear that IANA did not have that
authority either. Even if IANA had been so inclined, it did not have actual or
operational ability to do so. If you disagree with this, you must be trying to
rewrite history.
