*Look for possible changes to the contracting process regarding name collision proceedings for delegated vs. not-yet-delegated names as ICANN has just released a new [https://www.icann.org/en/about/staff/security/ssr/name-collision-mitigation-26feb14-en.pdf Name Collision Mitigation Report] that suggests possible changes to the current new gTLD program. However, the report is still undergoing public comment.
