The US governments contractor, ICANN, has had a decade to "study the problem". Their "open, transparent", "stakeholder based, bottom up organized" "multi constituency" "process" has not, in ten years of study concluded that "oh, new TLDs are a bad idea"

Never mind they both a mandate from the internet community and the US government to create new top level domains from 1996 to 2000, drafted into the documents that legally define ICANN.

If the US government believes in what ICANN is and has done then it should recognize the immutable decision to create new TLDs.

If the US government does not ICANN has worked and is wrong then it should be immediately honor public sentiment and disband is, substantive policymaking can be moved to the FCC and the minor technical coordination required can he handled to NIST which puts these functions in the most appropriate places.

The domain industry itself is now quite robust and is capable of coordinating amongst each other similar to the lightweight process used to assign globally unique Ethernet addresses to ever computer in the world, something that does not require a $100 million dollar budget, by a very large margin.
