For a minute, let's set aside the potential reasons for
Name.Space being considered a viable candidate...
What is their intent in applying
for so many TLDs, when there will very likely be so few brought in at this point?
While it may not be their intent, it smacks of an attempted land grab.
Name.Space,
do yourselves a great favor: voluntarily reduce the number of TLDs for which you
are applying. You will enhance your image to many, many observers.
