GTLD Predictions - The wisdom of the crowd

Jump to: navigation, search

This is a "wisdom of crowds" exercise in which ICANN community members take a SWAG at 4 questions with the goal of seeing what the community thinks as a whole:

Question 1) How many total new TLD applications will there be in this round?
Question 2) What % of applications will be targeted at a geographical location?
Question 3) What % of applications will be "community" vs. "open"?
Question 4) What is the first date on which anyone will be allowed to submit an application?

Note: The idea is for people to enter their own guesses on this page, but if the wiki formatting is tough, please just send an e-mail with your 4 answers to ray [at] aboutus.org and I will get them into the table.

Prize: Person who guess closest in each of the 4 areas will win a special mural by Rhoda and one millionth of the actual application fees ($92.50 at 500 applications)! Prize generously sponsored by Skenzo.
