Sandy,
you might want to ask NSI people. If I understand right the problem now is 
a pick problem solved with a front switcher and a memory addressing one 
coming in but solved with 64bits machines.

BoD acknowledged to the GAC that the only problem in having one million TLD 
was that GAC Members felt confident it would work so ICANN would proceed 
slowly. Started immediatly afterward in allocating a few TLDs, avoiding 
conflict with .web and creating one with .biz.
You right, nothing technical in there.

PS. ".bis.biz" in French can be a phonetic for "dispute". Would Vint Cerf 
have some French?

PS2. By the way any one investigated the impact on the ICANN if someone 
would come with a better technical/financial solution than DNS to manage IP 
address resolution? Let say "I pay you 1 cent if you resolve with my system" ?
