    People’s (even domainers’) interest in new GTLDs will be rapidly decreasing. The early new GTLDs should think they were lucky.

    .XYZ – who would have thought it would have been one of the rare winners

      You may want to rethink your idea of winner then what with the greater majority of registrations being freebies given to people on an opt-out basis rather than an opt-in. Wait till renewal time for the numbers before declaring them a winner,

    The interest is there. But the availability is not.

    Have try to reg these: camden.town, kentish.town, london.university, lviv.university…

    Donuts has returned this:

    This name is reserved by the Registry in accordance with ICANN Policy.

    Meaning,

    yeah, we know you want it, we shall sell it as premium one day, dude 😉

    While berlin.university was snatched by .BERLIN. But who said life should be fair.

    You cannot have all good names to yourself, right Mike?

      Actually, most of them will probably be on the name collision list and the registry would be happy to sell them. It really is ICANN that is putting up a stopsign for many good domain names that would have found a buyer, just to protect against some nebulous, potential harm.
