Unless you restrict   domain names registration the same way you do with edu endings the propoused plan to introduce new tlds wil get us to hell. Many mistakes have been commited by ICANN policies since the very beggining:
1. .com .net .orgs that can be registered by anybody has given place to a huge misunderstanding, confussion  and greed in the domain land.
2. The most stupid decision was the introduction o the hyphen, giving anybody the chance to register legitimate domains in a multitude of unfair variations. I can register m-icrosoft.com! Unbeliavable.
3. You must coordinate a world wide action towards unificacion of world trademarks and world domain names to avoid  disputes. It's dangerous for the domain comunity that you name a very limited number of providers to solve disputes at a high cost. These disputes will begin to flow like ocean waves. Good for the providers, bad for your reputation which is already questioned by many people, and very bad for domain world. Please intent to rule a global  registration of trademarks and domains in a single act.

4. New TLDs? I see two paths to follow:
   a. One domain name per person or institution, ruled in the same way as with edu TLDs.
   b. Best of all: no more TLDs of any kind. Just Trademarks and names.
