That lends some sanction to their claims that indeed does not, and should not
exist.
Why should they be entitled to any standing?
They should have to go through the identical proceedings of ANY organization
when ICANN begins the selection of gTLD operators, at square one just like any
other at the point.
Giving them advance hearings serves no purpose but to sanction their alleged
claims to these TLDs which have no basis in fairness at all.
