Why Is Uncle Sam Dictating .Us Policy?

Why wasn't there a public comment period before the RFQ went out? It would appear that the DOC prefers .us to be a failed domain under its thumb than a successful domain responding to public and market interests. You don't need an MBA to see the marketing potential of .us if it were properly handled, and you don't need to be Milton Friedman to see that the government doesn't know how to run a domain registry properly. Unfortunately, it's probably too late for .us, and it will languish for at least a few more years.
