Poor dear ICANN, how this community must wear you out with all the ever-so-clever debating on all possible detail. Elisa Cooper from Mark Monitor wrote a great blog post yesterday recommending there is no need for any batching or metered process. I would agree. As the uncontested are first, the simple process of negotiating contracts will act as the natural metering process. People all act at their own pace and some businesses are not treating their new gTLD as their primary daily focus. <div>
<br></div><div>That process would, however, require you to do a random ordering of the uncontested group - and have them sign a waiver that by accepting their spot in the queue to negotiate contracts, they waive their right to object in any way later. Then you have no whining that a TLD failed because it was put too far back in the queue. And delegation happens in the order of the signed contracts.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I am a neutral bystander without any applications associated with our business, but very supportive of the ENORMOUS program the new gTLDs is proving to be, and indeed, how ICANN is handling it so far. </div>
