I vote for option 1 - with the ever present caveat that no action should be taken to add gTLDs until the following have been put into place: (1) a universal, reliable and searchable database of contact information for all domain name registrants; (2) a workable uniform dispute resolution procedure; and (3) a famous name policy.
