>[1] That "due diligence by applicants" argument suggests that >this is a huge fuss about nothing. The problem, as noted with .CS, is that it screwed up people who have no connection to the applicant and no interest in buying a domain name from them. Viz. the current concerns about .corp, .home. and .mail. I suppose you could say that about .onion, but you could also say that their current request to be added to the 6761 list is the due diligence. R's, John
