owen,
at several points you assert that gtlds are "global", which i suggest
is an error on your part.
gtlds are whatever the controlling contract (icann) requires, and that
currently lacks an external to the point of service performance
measurement, and whatever the registrants require, with some filtering
through the marginal interests of registrars.
the icann contract for the .cat registry is "sponsored", and the
interest of the registry, and its registrants, is marginal outside of
catalonia.
the icann contract for some municipality or region, assuming the new
gtld program results in new contracts, may be "standard" or
"community-based", but the intersts of the registry, and its
registrants, may also be marginal outside of that municipality or region.
you can decide for yourself if your preference for the policy and
profit margins for .nyc are controlling, or if the preferences of the
city administration, the registry operator, and, using either the .cat
or the .nl rates of adoption, a quarter of a million or four million
new yorkers are controlling.
if there is a registry the operations for which you are familiar
enough to discuss, we can discuss the necessity and utility of a v6
reachibility requirement, though the prior to delegation requirement
is unique to the proposed contract for new registries.
