That's a good example of the sorts of problems the new gTLD process
creates. There are two applications, one from the Financial Services
Roundtable, a trade association of large US banks, with the application
fronted by ex-ICANN Craig Schwartz, and one from RadixRegistry which is
existing registrar DirectI, fronted by Brijesh Harish Joshi (about whom I
know nothing.)
They both doubtless plan to carefully qualify applicants and require
security standards, blah blah. But which one would you believe is more
likely to continue to do so consistently over the next decade or two, even
after the TLD misses its revenue forecasts by an order of magnitude?
