[comments-gtlds] commit to opening hundreds of new gTLDs ASAP

[Neal McBurnett <nealmcb@lucent.com>]

I've read all the position papers at
	http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/19991023.NCwgc-report.html
and I've followed the debate for over 4 years.

It is important to move ahead on opening up new gTLDs as quickly as
possible.

The most compelling issue is the language in "B" about avoiding a
"testbed" mentality.  ICANN must make a *commitment* that there will
be hundreds of new gTLDs as soon as is practible.  The world must have
confidence that it isn't going to stop with the first few new gTLDs or
else the whole move to gTLDs will lose much of its purpose.
