Ok - I'll bite

We currently don't plan on applying to run any new TLDs, though that doesn't 
mean that I may not personally get involved with some. I run a business. I'll 
seek profit wherever I can, so why wouldn't I with new TLDs?

We are a registrar, so I'm obviously interested in outcomes in terms of what we 
will or won't be able to sell in the future

However we also are a hosting provider, colo provider, offer transit, DNS, AS 
management services etc.,

I am personally concerned that the board's statement could have a negative 
impact on our business, as we already provide services to companies that 
operate on the registry side of the fence
