Hi Bruce,
I can not speak for the constituency, but on behalf of CORE. Opening up
the TLDs will open Pandora's box. You will see requests for all names from
all registrars. I would not know how to provide guidelines for a fair
distribution of those names. As long as that is the case, opening the TLD
up does not sound like a good idea.
Yours,
Marcus
