Yes, I also saying the same thing that the usage (sales of new domain names) of 
these new TM/branded registries will be very limited, subscription will be 
allowed to only concerning members of the group mean limited domain names 
subscribed/registered each year. The financial model is described in gAG is 
demonstrate example of 3 year estimation with the investment plan of about 
US$10m. 10m / (domains registered in 3 years) = registration fee per domain.

New gTLDs with general name script give a good return of investment mean less 
cost offered to public for domain name registration, if it is that is good and 
widely acceptable.
