Dear Jim:

Thank you for your excellent analysis of the present situation.  I have 
proposed a Votebot on the issue, with four options.  Those options were 
refined by Dan Busarow:

[How do we proceed]
         [] Option 0
         [] Option 1
         [] Option 2
         [] Option 1/2

Where Option 0 is no new gTLDs, Options 1 and 2 are well known and Option 
1/2 is for gradual opening as in Option with the potential for further 
opening on the *successful* launching of the initial few gTLDs.

If no option gains a majority, we eliminate the least popular one or two 
options and Votebot again.  I suspect we can have a majority, perhaps even 
a super majority by the second Votebot.

It is my opinion that some participants are committed to keeping us from 
*ever* leaving on our journey.  Sad.
