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.
