[Steve DelBianco]

In our preparation for tomorrow's public forum topic on gTLD Implementation issues, here's the BC's existing position on batching:

As to the composition of the first batch, the BC recommends that it include a substantial proportion of community-based applications. It is a long-standing position of the BC that name space expansion should create added-value. Where there is added-value there will be genuine user demand – not just defensive registrations—and expansion will enhance choice and competition in the global public interest. In a global market economy, added-value means differentiation from other gTLDs while providing competition for existing gTLDs.
