It clearly appears a large hole in the IANA report for the year
2003.<br>
I ignore whether this hole is filled with water or not. Beside
Iraq invasion by US army (20 mars 2003).<br>
<br>
In case it was, the IANA report could contain false statements.<br>
A point for the Iznogoodatall kingdom.<br>

She also says that the manager

Some army tanks (sent by George W. Bush or Saddam Hussein) may be
as efficient as ICANN in order to scare ISP, registrars and site
creators.<br>
But what ICANN-IANA did exactly between

Bayan Elashi's imprisonment and the effective redelegation?<br>
And why the correct details are not in the IANA report?<br>

I think it is clear that IANA did something: The ccTLD was redelegated.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.iana.org/reports/2005/iq-report-05aug2005.pdf">http://www.iana.org/reports/2005/iq-report-05aug2005.pdf</a>
The question is whether the implied accusation holds water that .iq
websites were harmed by the concerned actions of the US government (in
arresting the person in charge of the TLD without arranging for
continuity of the TLD) and IANA (in redelegating the TLD).
And I think that this question boils down to whether there were
actually any .iq websites at the time when the ccTLD operator was
arrested.
Greetings,
Norbert

Did any such websites exist at the time of the redelegation?
