This is the first time that someone from the trademark constituency seems 
to be suggesting the need for immediately creating MANY new TLDs.

Unfortunately Philip, this low a number, for initial addition to the DNS, 
was developed directly in response to concerns from your colleagues!

Separately, you seem to miss the point that this is an INITIAL
