Seriously though, Christopher's idea of a statistics/economics 
department for ICANN is a good one as it might have prevented them 
making what can only be described as Astrological or Numerological 
"predictions" about the 2012 round.

I'm not exactly sure about the gap analysis on policies as the gTLDs are 
typically global in nature and most ccTLDS are geographically limited 
and governed by local legislation. One of the big problems, as I 
remember from the .EU Sunrise fiasco was the difference in how business 
names (a "trading as" or "doing business as" name) were treated in law 
across the EU. Simple enough to sort out beforehand but it wasn't and it 
led to high levels of outright cybersquatting and rejected applications.

The registrants need simple and clear explanations of the differences 
rather than intricate explanations of policies. I've a rough schema in 
mind but haven't read all the policies.
