The pig in the room?

The issuance of .catholic and .kosher make it clear that ICANN isn't the least bit concerned about bias and the like. I can very much believe that they ARE concerned about starting a war that is likely to extend to "highly energetic" packages at their personal doorsteps.

ICANN might be a perfect showcase for almost everything that can go wrong in an organization of its sort, but the demonstrated danger of making a ruling on these two gTLDs makes me suspect that there is actually useful intelligence behind their actions. Especially when you consider that a "delayed" application is a source of ongoing revenue, while a permanently denied one is not. :/
