[At-Large] News on the .health TLD allocation

[Carlton Samuels]

...this very issue created my Damascene moment....and precipitated my
withdrawal from the role as member of the At-Large's Objection Evaluation
Team.

In the first place, I was unconvinced that the [AGB] rules as existed even
provided standing to the At-Large for objection.  Then when the attempts to
attach robust PICs ended in failure and the specs that emerged were such
that I referred them as not worth a warm bucket of spit, I knew the jig was
up.

Here's the thing.  While I might detest faith healers for example, I am
hardpressed to see where I have business - certainly in this dispensation -
aiding, abetting or to cause discomfit to them and other regular charlatans.
