As massive as in the first round? Experience should show that most of the existing GeoTLDs did not show such massive demand, and I expect the next round to go no differently.

I agree with Jeff that reservation lists should be very restrictive. Instead of trying to prevent any bad thing that might happen, we need processes that help resolving the few instances where something does happen.

In my experience, that is an unrealistic idea,

If and when Geo-TLDs are delegated, there will be.a massive demand for reservation of SLDs for relevant locations.

Whether this is handled by reservation or by sunrise, remains to be discussed.
