Dear Seun,
I strongly disagree with your "winner takes all" evaluation. My basic premise was that ICANN was a non-for-porfit public interst dreiven organzation. Not a Pyramid business. But I'm here to learn.

Even if it has zero registrations, ICANN made a nice chunk of income out of it. Should they get their money back?
SO: Did they not make a business decision, afterall they were not forced to apply. However wrong it might be, it was their choice and their loss, hence a refund should be moot.Cheers!_______________________________________________

It's a .brand – zero "normal" registrants or users will be impacted
If it was a TLD with actual registrations then it would be a totally different matter, but it isn't.

Subject: [At-Large] Vistaprint is abandoning .vista
Maybe we should track these 'returns/abandonments' and in context, [re]read the recommendations of the Subsequent Procedures WG?
Saw a story of a domain investor account of his return on investment so far; he's in the red with diminishing prospects.
On top of these kind of stories that speak to the conditions in the end user market and the 'retired and/or abandoned gLTDs, it just seems 'otherworldly' to me that in all the happy talk of new rounds, this idea that demand has something to do with markets is largely left unmentioned. Helluva thing!
