There is no formal process to question the outcome of the IDN Fast Track 
applications. By definition, the only possible communication is between 
ICANN "staff" (whatever that means) and the original applicant. 
Ironically, even that country's Government does not have formal way to 
communicate with ICANN on the matter.

Nevertheless, we are exploring every available possibility for some 18 
months now, to understand why this situation continues to persist. ICANN 
staff are very wary of any such discussions and I perfectly understand 
their position. More so, that the principal that handled this case, Tina 
Dam, is no longer with ICANN.
My understanding is that ICANN now recognizes they made a mistake. But 
they not only made the mistake to accept blindli this "expert opinion". 
They also made the mistake to make several statements already to the 
effect that "this is it, accept it or go away". Therefore, the problem 
at the moment is how ICANN admits their mistake and how they go out of 
the rising political problem.
I have made many proposals on how to address this, but this has been 
slow process.. Nobody has given up anyway and it now seems inevitable 
things will go on a more global and more politicized forums.
