Agreed. The last round of sTLDs included many of what I considered gTLDs
anyway.
I am also concerned with viability. Registry failure is going to happen
sooner or later. But there is no point in inviting it by only requiring
cetain financial and technical requirements for a new TLD. That does not
do much for promoting a stable and secure Internet. I think there also
needs to be verifiable market research that indicates viability, and
clear and well defined marketing plans from any applicant.

Hello All,
Philip Sheppard from the GNSO Business users constituency has produced a
white paper which has been sent to members of the ICANN Board.
Attached is the powerpoint version of this paper.
It proposes only sponsored TLDs. I personally don't support the
concept of sponsored versus non-sponsored. I am more interested in what
the TLD is for - not how it is governed.
I am interested in feedback from registrar members.
Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
