Mutual respect is what is lacking here.  You people must understand that 
once a TLD is created - don't matter which root creates it - what does 
matter is that all roots carry that label (tld).  Its a bit like dogs 
taking a piss.  I've used this example for years to explain the 
difficulties with TLDs.  When a dog takes a piss it marks out it's 
territory.  Another dog wanting to take a piss will not do so on another 
dogs marked territory.  When those people who are self appointed TLD 
authorities act more like dogs then we'll actually be getting somewhere.
