For example, the paper is based on the false assertion that if a company has example.com it has a real need for example.tld.
Ironically, ICANNWatch has the .com, .net AND .org all locked up. :)
I agree with Tim that .mobi would be a poor choice of a new TLD, especially due to the "device independence" section of the document.
Of all the proposed sTLDs, I think only .tel and .post have any strength (although, the implementation of them are still open to debate). I'd vote against all the rest as simply being too ugly and causing namespace pollution.

The other TLDs were a generous gift from a supporter. I protested I didn't need them at the time...he insisted...

Does ICANNwatch.NET have an FCC license for that .NAME ? .NET owners are being rounded up and brought under
all of the regulatory regimes such as the ITU.
In some States in the U.S., by law, handicapped
people are given FREE telecom services. The .NET
owners will have to provide their handicapped
customers with FREE service.
Canadian ISPs will have to pay out-of-country .NET license fees, for their traffic flowing in
and out of "the Homeland".
The latest letter from Verisign to ICANN makes
it clear that Verisign intends to operate .NET.
The U.S. lawmakers will be coached by Verisign
to make that the only choice of the ICANN Board.
It seems unlikely that the name ICANNwatch.NET
would make any sense a year from now. If the .NET owners raise the barrier to entry to the .NET zone high enough, domain name cloners,
squatters and speculators will not have .NET
names.
