In fairness I got a response from someone I believe is inside Manwin: Its on my site as well

"ICM basically came to Manwin begging to support them. The four main things Manwin told them we absolutely needed were:
1) Stuart or any other ICM goon has to step down from IFFOR
2) They have to lower prices immediately by at LEAST 10 USDs, but we tried for much more than that. There is no reason why it should be more than 30 or so USD
3) Manwin asked them to allow some simple way to register typo domains together with the main registration. For free. Like 2 or 3 obvious typos.
4) an easy way to block typo domains together with normal blocks.
Manwin did not ask for thousands of free domains just for us, they threw around 200 or 300 of them at us the first second we talked. First year only of course. They are also the ones that suggested that Manwin run tube.xxx for example.
In regards to IFFOR rules, Manwin said we want to be sure that no stupid rules would be introduced, the "no tubes on .xxx" was just an example."
