MDR happened in Nov00, NewNet hadn't announced existance yet. ICANN
conflicted, with BIZ, in Nov00. That was the signal that it was okay for
NewNet to also conflict. Why not? If ICANN can ignore the ORSC then NewNet
has no reason to acknowlege the ICANN. The facts are that NewNet didn't
conflict because they didn't exist at the time.

I was at MDR, you were not. I have other reasons to very firmly remember
when NewNet announced existence. The time-line says that I am correct. If
Kent isn't being dishonest then he's senile or at least, badly mistaken. He
makes a habit of making such "mistakes".

... and for posting such a threat on the GA list I am making my, first ever,
complaint about you.
