Thanks Philip, hindsight is a partial defence of the GNSO. The question it raises is not only one of diversity, but also how a programme that 'expects the unexpected' - or at least accommodates it - could be developed.

Jacob, indeed this is a telling graph.
It also demonstrates the short-sighted of the GNSO Council (I was a member at the time) in characterising potential TLDs into just four types.

Further to yesterday's discussion, here are some stats from: http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/statistics

In terms of discussing whether to include a note the about low diversity of types of applications, this chart shows that it would be significantly more unfair to remove the point than to include it. (Note I excluded 17 community applications that were brands e.g. .bugatti, with apologies to Bugatti owners.)

Whether the low diversity is appropriate or not is something we should discuss remaining neutral on, but the fact remains there were four options in the AGB: Community, Geographic, IDN and Standard and almost 90% were of one type. 

In other words, this was unequivocally not a diverse application round in terms of types of applications.

For the record, I and my employer, Valideus, do represent several non-commercial, community applicants/registries, but your point is well taken.
 
We will try our best to do the document clean up, but of course will run everything by the group to make sure that we got it right (or not).  We will also make sure that we turn around redlines so that you can see the changes.

Hi,

I was surprised that we did not actually 
Review Draft Exec Summary / Matrix / Charter


But since some of the comment I rushed to get in in time for the meeting were not complete, I suppose I should be grateful.

I want to reiterate my discomfort with the increasing tend, seen again in this group, of chairs taking control of the content and taking the pen in a relative opaque manner.  In this case we have 2 people who I like and trust as people (a purely subjective statement), but none of whom have non-commercial, community applicant not user points of view (possibly an objective statement).

I guess I will have to wait to see how it all works out. And hope.
