In today's oversight hearing, Kurt Pritz pegged the number of probable new first-round gTLDs at 200. This is a number lower than I recall having been mentioned before. Is my memory faulty, or is this a new development?
I thought he was answering a question about how many he expected in the next year and not in the whole process. But am not sure. And of course any number is a guess - and especially if a GAC objection is enough to throw out an application or at least delay it interminably, we might see far fewer. I was at a meeting last week with a bunch of active guessers and would estimate that 200 was the mean guess. i guessed 500, but that was probably wishful thinking. a.
