One TLD per application.

Q54: Should ICANN select the TLD labels, should they be proposed by the applicants for new TLD registries, or should they be chosen by a consultative process between the applicants and ICANN?
They should be chosen by the applicants BUT subject to the new ICANN guidelines based on the six WG C principles.

Q55: Should there be minimum or maximum length requirements for TLD codes? Are restrictions appropriate to avoid possible future conflicts with ISO 3166-1 codes?
Follow the six WG C principles. There should be a principle of avoiding confusion. This should determine length requirements.

Q56: Should there be restrictions on the types of TLD labels that are established (for example, a prohibition of country names)? Follow the six WG C principles. There should be a principle of avoiding confusion. This should determine prohibitions.

Q57: What should be the criteria for selecting between potential TLD labels? Should non-English language TLD labels be favored?
