For a long time, I have been advocating not trying to solve all of the gTLD problems but rather releasing categories of gTLDs where the problems can be readily addressed (either because of the type of gTLD or because the applicant is willing to agree to sepecific measures to address the potential problems. This has typically been a VERY unpopular position to take in public. At this meeting, in both public and private discussions, the concept is receiving wide acceptance. Is there an interest in quickly putting forth a position that we advocate such methodology and are willing to work with other parts of ICANN to put in place such categories and allow ICANN to QUICKLY allow applications for some classes of TLDs (and I would support including IDN and small cultural TLDs as well as city TLD (the latter only if they are willing to put in place strong controls to inhibit abuse).
