Considering that most of the new public TLDs look like failures by any reasonable metric, so much that ICANN's had to revise their budget to reflect the lack of income from registrants who didn't register, ICANN did the developing countries a favor by not encouraging them to waste their money. There are a lot of good ways to spend development money, but yet another TLD isn't one of them. R's, John
