The problem, in terms of phishing, is probably worse in the new gTLDs

gTLDs to the new gTLDs.
It appears to me that this issue can probably be traced back to a fairly small number of new gTLDs whose business models stress high volume and domain prices low enough to be disposable. It strikes me that many of the new gTLDs are not cheaper than the legacy ones and are making at least a superficial stab at identity and taxonomy.
Is there benefit in your research in isolating the disposable-domain TLDs from the others? Or do all of them -- even the ones who are promoting themselves based on identity -- have this problem?
Thank you again for bringing research-based focus to ALAC's work.
