Ignoring the fact that you entirely ignore the essential nature of the 
requirement to check facts before publishing comments about them, thank you 
so much for highlighting the major issue:

ICANN should have set out the entire set of precisely complete rules 2 
years ago and never changed them.

I mean, the idea that they might actually adapt to changing conditions is 
so silly, how could anyone ever consider it?

And, by the way, that you do not comprehend just how destructive New.net's 
efforts are suggests that you should learn rather more about the nature of 
the DNS before criticizing work concerning it.

ps.  It is impressive to see the strong support people like you and 
Froomkin give to ICANN.  One might forget that you are ostensibly working 
WITHIN the organization.  The phrase "nipping at their heels" comes to mind.
