Instead of capping the number of applications any entity can make,
it might be helpful to ensure a system to resolve contention sets in
a different manner than in the current round. A continuation of the
current auction model might lead to gaming as well, where parties
with no interest in running a TLD could feel encouraged to take a
chance at the post-private-auction payout.<br>
<br>
In any case, a cap on applications by any one entity is easily
circumventable by creating holding companies for each application.<br>

Attempting to restrict the number of applications an
applicant can file is fraught with significant anti-trust
considerations and is really a non-starter. Or more simply
stated there is no way Joe Simms would sign-off on this
limitation, especially if ICANN achieves its independent
from the USG in the near future.

approach is to focus on the weighing of community
applications and potential alternate resolution option in
connection with contention sets. This is where I think
ICANN really missed the mark in connection with this round
with a number of community / community like applications
being held hostage or eliminated by deep pocket portfolio
applicants.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
