Hank, I realised after sending my earlier message that I had omitted the following question from the list which I described as indicating the areas in which I would find more information helpful. I understand that the seven new gTLD's have some pilot or experimental character. If so, what is the experimental hypothesis, how soon is it to be tested, and what criteria will be used to determine whether experience with the the seven new domains confirms the hypothesis ?
