Policy informs and structures the operation. It is not our concern if they are not staffed properly. We set the policy and they must fund a way to implement it. All the same fears existed around the entire gtld program concerning application volume. And icann ramped up staff to handle it We should make great policy and leave the operations to staff.

(Rate of change to the root could be too high if all 1,000 were added in one month or one quarter.) The letter seems to indicate that the controlling variable is going to be human resources/processing time for applications rather than root instability on technical grounds, while at the same time pointing out there are lots of uncontrolled variables. Hard to see how we could base a policy change on this information. Anne Anne E.
