I object to this question. I believe that it should be worded:

2. What minimum qualifications must a gTLD registry have?

> 	4. What process should ICANN use to select new gTLD strings?

I object to the wording of this question, as it is leading, despite
your clarification (which is, of course, not part of the question).
It implies that ICANN makes the selection.

I suggest, rather:

4. By what process should new gTLD strings be selected?

Sure.
