On Nov 17, the WHO issued a statement on ICANN's TLD decisions which
is short enough to be quoted here in its entirety.
<http://www.who.int/inf-pr-2000/en/state2000-10.html>:
>DOT.HEALTH
>WHO has learned via wire reports that our application for a
>top-level domain of Dot.Health has been rejected. We are still
>trying to get confirmation of this directly from ICANN. We are
>extremely disappointed with this outcome, if this is confirmed, and
>are eagerly awaiting the rationale of this decision, especially in
>light of decisions made to grant other TLDs. We will begin
>immediately to explore ways of recourse. WHO feels that the quality
>and standard of health information on the Internet, and the
>guarantees that this can give to "consumers", can only benefit from
>a Dot.Health TLD.
