    <p>Is it cost effective for ICANN and the community though?
      Essentially, ICANN would have to have sufficient evaluators at
      hand at all times as not to create a bottleneck as all applicants
      would expect their application to be handled switfly and with the
      same amount of care as any other. <br>

                                                          To be clear,
                                                          no one is
                                                          advocating

                                                          AFTER the next
                                                          round ends. 
                                                          So that after

                                                          any pent up

                                                          The reality is
                                                          that it takes
                                                          so many months
                                                          for ICANN to
                                                          move through
                                                          the process
