That is the sec
t find a TLD that matches their business needs then maybe they
should charter their own TLD? Unlike SLD registrations, TLD charters must
be manually reviewed, but the rate of additions is much lower. I really
don't see millions of TLDs, but then, no one foresaw millions of COM SLDs
either.

normal DNS operations can update their secondaries. A 12-hour sync delay is
