.fr: the art of efficiency

In order to better understand why your .fr is still not available, despite all your (and our) best efforts, we feel it would be beneficial to give you some help in interpreting the statistics published freely by AFNIC: http://open.nic.fr/
When you click on the above link, look here (ex. from 21/06/2006, 9:19 AM):
(click on the thumbnail to see the image full size)
The most interesting lines (for interpretation of data) are:
- "18990 messages ont été reçus depuis le début de l'ouverture" = total number of applications sent by the registrars,
- "Finis : 1392" = number of domain names that have become operational, and that may finally be used by their owners,
- "DNS non prêt" = there was an error in the DNS of your domains, so it was impossible to activate them,
- "Attente vérification" = AFNIC is in the act of verifying the personal information (moral persons),
- "Attente client" = AFNIC is waiting for a reply from the customer (invalid SIREN or trademark number, etc),
Conclusion:
At the time I am writing these lines, out of the 1,392 completed registrations, Gandi is responsible for 702. What better example of efficiency is there? 
PS: And YES, we are still working on the finishing touches on V2, and on the reseller tools...
