[wg-c] GTLD Straw poll

["Ken Stubbs" <kstubbs@corenic.org>]

my vote would be for option 1 as stated below

QUESTION ONE: HOW MANY NEW gTLDS, AND HOW FAST?

Option 1: Without regard to whether it would be desirable to have many
gTLDs in the long term, ICANN should proceed now by adding only a few, and
then pausing for evaluation.  Only after assessing the results should it
initiate any action to add more.

i would also like to add a few comments to this response:

"we should consider viewing  gtld's as a "public trust"
vested in an organization or entity for a specific period of time rather
than property owned by anyone . we could then develop
guidelines for administration of that "trust" and placement of this " trust"
in the hands of whatever entity  had the ability to administer that "trust"
the most
efficiently and effectively for the benefit of the internet users and the
general public at large.

naturally you could develop methodologies for evaluating the administration
of this trust and  a periodic process could be put  into place to insure
that the "trust" was always placed in the most efficient and effective care
(i.e. periodic review and re-bidding)

in effect... no one individual or entity owns it"
