Re: [ga] this is ICANN's legacy
one point that must be added explicitly, although I believe roberto
implies it, is that it is much simpler for ICANN to allow the
introduction of lots of tlds than it is to introduce only a limited
amount. it is the constraining and limiting that create the complexity.

Chris,
Actually the Board never said that "there is absolutely no demand
for new TLDs". If you claim it has taken little concrete action to
address the issue, this is true.
The real problem, the way I see it, that is risking to paralyse the
Board is not the "if", but the "how". You have witnessed the
problems that just a limited introduction of supposedly less
critical TLDs, like the "sponsored" ones, has created, and the need
for Board's time and resources that this has implied.
For me, the only sensible way to deal with the issue, is to have a
set of rules that the Board can almost mechanically follow to
delegate new TLDs. And personally I strongly believe that this can
come only from a PDP developed by the GNSO.
Just my 2c.
Cheers,

"The ever increasing demand for high quality business domain
names, coupled with a very limited supply, has driven up the
values of the best domains to the point of being called ''internet
gold'' by many."
But according to ICANN there is absolutely no demand for new TLDs.
Does anyone on the ICANN Board read the news? Can any of them
actually read? Yes and that includes you Vint. I have defended you
many times when people unfairly accuse you of things, however, if
you are turning a blind eye to the need to open up the creation of
TLDs, then you are in bed with the coprporations that want to keep
this articficial shortage going.
go to http://www.dotworlds.com This may not be it, but at some
point the ICANN Board is going to make itself obsolete because
they move like a turtle with snail's disease.
