Considering that most of the new public TLDs look like failures by any 
reasonable metric, so much that ICANN's had to revise their budget to 
reflect the lack of income from registrants who didn't register, ICANN did 
the developing countries a favor by not encouraging them to waste their 
money.

There are a lot of good ways to spend development money, but yet another 
TLD isn't one of them.

R's,
John
