What, if anything, is the plan for dealing the predictable complaints from applicants who (not totally unreasonably) would feel that the rug's been yanked out from under them?
Why would they complain or "have the rug yanked from under them"? [Note too that the draft uses SHOULD and not MUST.] Whatever happens with this draft is unlikely to have any impact on ICANN's current list of new gTLDs.
Someone paid $185,000 to apply for .EXCHANGE, which is #567 on the priority list. They haven't signed any contracts yet.
