Elliot and Ross say:

ICANN should no longer seek to "optimize" the namespace as it has attempted
to do under its "Sponsored TLD" programs. This program erroneously delegates
policy making responsibility to the gTLD Delegant where this responsibility
more properly belongs to ICANN's GNSO. Further, this experiment mandates
specific business models and business practices that ICANN has no proper
authority to make.

I don't understand what this is saying.  What does optimize the namespace
mean?  What policy making is delegated by this "optimization" attempt?  Why
does this "optimization" favor certain business models over others?

Thanks for any help explaining this!
Brandon
