Just for the record, I agree with your view.
Now, one also has to live with the suspect that this whole "sponsored 
TLD" idea was designed to delay the introduction of a quasi-automated 
process for new gTLDs by five years or so...
In any case, please let's be sure that we make our views heard in the 
new gTLD process - I think that most of the Internet world "at large" is 
fed up with ICANN continuing to prevent a reasonable expansion of the root.
