Actually, before counting my vote. Can we get some background information on 
the .free TLD? Like, how many domains are currently registered under this 
TLD? How many new registrations do we have per month and how many of the TLDs 
are really used (pointing to a server not counting in the NS records to our 
TLDs DNS)?
