I fail to see how it is possible that the IAHC announced anything this
week; the IAHC was dissolved on 1 May 97 when the gTLD-MoU was signed.
There is absolutely nothing to the effect of your statement on the IAHC web
page (http://www.iahc.org/), and there is no new IETF draft from the
(dissolved) IAHC in the InterNIC archives.
Where did this information come from?
