* The definition of registry was confusing for the Internet community and needed clarification. IAB also emphasized that there are no technical limitations for the management of registration databases and suggested that the U.S. government should allow self-governance for the new corporation and let it determine how many [[registry|registries]] or [[gTLD]]s should be implemented.

Instead of using the word "development," IAB suggested to replace it with the word "assignment" to make it more consistent with the current relationship between [[IANA]] and [[IETF]].
