Here's a reasonable subject for outrage. Earlier this week, ICANN quietly posted the independent evaluators' reports on the most recent round of sTLDs. One of the purported reasons for posting them now, at least from what I've overheard in the hallway, is that the Governmental Advisory Committee has asked for the reports in order to evaluate .XXX. Why is this a big deal? Because three of the sTLDs that are the subject of these newly posted reports -- .JOBS, .TRAVEL, and .MOBI -- are already in the root. A little late for public comment. What it means is that the sTLDs not already approved will be subject to an extra level of scrutiny. Another ICANN "process" runs off the rails.
