This assumption that those who have, essentially, laid renegade claims to TLD's
with no basis for believing they would ever be added to the roots, should have
some prior claim and be considered a "backlog" for purposes of processing new
gTLD applications requires extensive discussion in itself before even
considered such a proposal.

I am sure I am not alone in a basic feeling that these people/organizations
should probably not have any higher standing in consideration for new gTLD
registries.  Their applications should be considered alongside any others
applying for new or different gTLDs.  Those who choose to NOT setup a
"renegade" gTLD or root server network and instead to work within the system
for change should NOT be penalized and placed at the end of the queue.

This would be patently unfair.
