This is a serious allegation that merits investigation I think. See below.

Subject: on IPv4 variants...
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/ietf/Current/msg15777.html
From: "todd glassey" <todd(_dot_)glassey(_at_)worldnet(_dot_)att(_dot_)net>
- In the IPNG discussions, we decided to pursue IPv6 only.
but if someone wanted to, would you have allowed them to persue a IPv4
variant?
----
Todd,
People have clearly pursued "IPv4 variants" and the IETF does not like
that.
The IETF censors people that design more useful protocols than their
members.
After a period of time, the useful protocols then get renamed, with IETF
members
claiming the invention and references to other people's work does not
exist.
ICANN follows the same mentality. They walk all over other TLDs that exist
and
assume they are the only game in town. They appeal to a brain-washed
population
that has been told the I* society is the Internet. It is their way or the
highway.
