Market/ Economic Analysis - comments Dan Schindler

Please see my comment below in connection with the Economic Framework for the 
Analysis of the Expansion of Generic TLD Names.


Having read the latest Economic Study and understood its requirement under the 
Affirmation of Commitment, I note there really is nothing to suggest halting 
the TLD process and there is much in the report that suggests significant 
consumer benefit could accrue from new TLDs in the form of more choice, lower 
prices and increased services. Contained within are obvious warnings, which we 
have long-since been considered, with appropriate mitigation mechanisms 
deployed in the DAG, and plenty of optimism. Clearly, the proof of the pudding 
is in the eating. Let's get on with opening the window and letting the consumer 
be the judge. I don't recall the world demanding iPhones before they were 
launched!
