Boondoggle:  "a project that is considered a useless waste of both time and
money, yet is often continued due to extraneous policy motivations."
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boondoggle_(project)

HSTLD: The brief and aborted ICANN addvisory group, created to design a
"High Security TLD" designation
See: http://icannwiki.com/index.php/HSTLD
(I was the only ALAC representative on that
group<http://archive.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/hstld-volunteers-23dec09-en.pdf>
)
