> ORSC is not doing any of this just to be disruptive and contrary. perhaps that is not ORSC's intent. but by promoting new TLDs that aren't usable everywhere, ORSC *is* being disruptive and contrary. in effect it is saying "ICANN doesn't function the way *we* want it to, it is okay for us to disrupt applications that depend on consistent behavior of DNS". that's not socially responsible behavior. nor does ICANN's behavior excuse ORSC's.
