At the December 2004 ICANN meeting in Cape Town: 

Vint Cerf:  "I want to go on record as saying? that I
am no longer sure that I have a strong understanding
of why I would be motivated to create a new TLD? for
many years we didn?t create any new ones. And it
wasn?t because we didn?t have an apparatus for doing
it. It was because it wasn?t clear what the rationale
was for creating new TLDs. If we pick the wrong
philosophical basis and we try to codify that and we
end up creating so many TLDs that we actually create a
problem with the domain name system, we have a
problem.? 

Karl M. Manheim & Lawrence B. Solum:  "We agree with
many in the ICANN community that there is need for a
set aside and/or subsidy for gTLDs that serve the
nonprofit sector as well as gTLDs that address the
needs of communities that will be served by IDN."
