          <br>
          I fear I agree that this would probably be seen as
          anti-competitive as it would exclude those applicants looking
          to spread the risk and cost over as many TLDs as possible.
          Maybe a merit-based grading system of contested applications
          would actually solve this problem much better as large
          protfolio applicants would face a disadvantage in crafting
          individual and tailored registration policies and applications
          as opposed to boutique applicants.<br>

        <p class="MsoNormal">Actually, this conclusion would have to be

          I), there may not be an actual harm outweighing potential
          benefits. I would hesitate to assign judgement on any
