I've already looked at that website and posted what appear to be the 
rules, right at the start of this discussion.

A good idea, although the DNS space is full of historical anomalies that 
are often not useful as precedent for new applications.

I'm currently working with some people who are trying to apply for a new 
ccTLD, and the main argument being used to refuse it is "we know other 
people in the past succeeded with an application just like yours, but 
times have changed, and today we say NO".

Hence, in part, my interest in the rules for such things.

Whatever the issue, I would personally welcome it if many more people 
did report back what happened after they've sought assistance, because 
it will always help future calls for assistance.
