That ICANN's quality seems to me likely indisputable. And quite positive.

Thanks a lot, David.
So, I presume the 18 months sequence could be:
- The registry manager disappears (tourism or whatever)
- The tanks scare the rare ISP, registrars and clients.
- The telecom lines are destroyed.
- The registry becomes empty.
- As it is a ccTLD and that we are app. 10 years ago, nobody claims any 
very light fees that could be asked for.
- Some ISP engineers could see, during some weeks, that a domain 
generates some technical issues, but its a very little phenomenon beside 
day to day network life.
- The app. 200 owners cannot reniew their domain and they guess that 
something may be broken.
- The .iq problem becomes visible when the question of rebuilding iraqi 
networks is on a possible agenda.


Best, Dominique
