> Where is that statement to be found? > Ah! Found it. Apologies. As it has been described here, the "Expression of Interest" is in fact a "Pre-Launch Application" before ICANN is willing to make contractual promises. The NCSG does not support a Pre-Launch Application under these circumstances. Wasn't there something in there about refunding deposits if contractual issues fundamentally changed or did I imagine it? j -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 917 442 8665 Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com ---------------------------------------------------------------
