negotiations with ICANN. Of those who clear the negotiations a portion will get stuck in the pre-delegation testing phase. And finally many of those new gTLDS that will actually get through all the stages are not immediately delegated because of business
of other reasons. I hope that this example illustrates how many bottlenecks there can be in this process, let alone the ones that are currently unknown.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
