I just don't know how you can say that. This is not a policy discussion document. This an implementation workshop briefing.
From what I can see it is absolutely 100% certain that the New gTLD Policy will get board approval in Paris.
It is 100% certain that the Application process for New gTLD including IDN will be implemented shortly after.
It is 98% certain what the procedures will be for approving New gTLD applicatons.
It is 98% certain that ccTLDs will be approved for Fast Tracking. Although it is not certain who will get what.
It is absolutely clear that ICANN have set aside budgets for Global Publicity and are intent on letting the presses roll.
Furthermore, after an initial glitch, I am now very confident that we have some IDN in Moniker's Paris auction.
From where I am sitting it like a lot guys sitting around at 5 in the morning discussing whether the Sun will ever come up again, as it has been down for nearly ten hours.
It even seems that a lot of the ASCII crowd are waking up. It just seems to be the Stalworts from IDNFs that have forgotten what this is all about.
