While I don't support the idea of voting at this stage, should I vote, I
would largely
agree with Rita's outline and caveats. Marilyn Cade, AT&T

I vote for option 1 - with the ever present caveat that no action should be
taken to add gTLDs until the following have been put into place: (1) a
universal, reliable and searchable database of contact information for all
domain name registrants; (2) a workable uniform dispute resolution
procedure; and (3) a famous name policy.
