If only facts didn't get in the way of your arguments!

the fact is that neither ICANN as an entity nor as a policy community
"decided" to give .health to these folks:

they applied for it, and received it according to the Applicant Guidebook
(which was developed by the policy community, which you refuse to be a part
of).

Another fact is there is ZERO big pharma support to .health, but really,
carry on with your counter-factual-ism, you will always find takers here it
seems!
