Simply to avoid any misunderstanding: what is costly is not setting  
up and technically managing a new TLD; it's rather - in the system of  
"natural growth" you're advocating - how to build a brand out of it,  
so that this TLD doesn't remain a boutique- or a niche- TLD and  
becomes resolved everywhere (in case we agree this is the final  
objective).

Moreover, I'm not advocating any public assistance (except, of  
course, for public/public service TLDs) to set up, manage, or build  
such TLD as a brand. I'm rather advocating the removal of any   
(political) obstacle to reaching the final objective, i.e. I'm  
advocating to remove the need for building the brand.

Best,
Meryem____________________________________________________________
