 How do you measure that? This is a serious question, one that affects DNS 
 operators. If you have a way of determining how many enterprises are 
 negatively affected as a new gTLD rolls out, that would be very useful 
 information.
 
 
 My advice to enterprises is to consider the following:
 
 Let the value to your enterprise of resolving the new domains be X
 Let the value at risk due to resolving the new domains be Y
 Let the cost of disabling new domain resolution be Z
 
 If Y  X-Z  then the obvious choice is to turn off resolution of new domains.
 
 Since X and Z are both zero the choice is obvious.
 

However nice this sounds in theory, the reality is that you can never
tightly control name resolution. Of course, you could try to control it,
and that attempt too has it's costs, which you should add to the right
part of the expression.These costs are far from zero.

It may be interesting against amplification attacks (although it seems
everyone moved to NTP amplification attacks, abandoning the DNS). For
fragmentation, I would not care, as explained here.

On an authoritative name server, you know the response sizes (use DSC
to see it). DNSKEY responses are typically the largest. Check it
before decreasing the limit.

Actually, this isn't really what we're seeing - ntp and SSDP and SNMP and 
chargen and tftp reflection/amplification attacks are all taking place 
*alongside* DNS reflection/amplification attacks, rather than supplanting them. 
 We sometimes see DNS reflection/amplification attacks mixed with ntp or SSDP 
in multi-vector reflection/amplification attacks, mainly in the gaming space.

Differing communities of 'interest', IMHO.

 That is, you need to limit the size of response that you send (max-udp-size

Do you recommend that it be lowered to 1280 or thereabouts for IPv6?

btw, my impression is that the OP was asking about network policies, not DNS

 May be this is an insight now, may be this is something to do for 
 ALL newly introduced TLDs, set up the resolution for a month with 
 NXDOMAIN and then analyze the logs and see if it could be an 
 issue.
 
 You might want to look at 
 https://www.jasadvisors.com/namespace-expansion-i.pdf.
 Interestingly, .prod had only 146 (filtered) unique SLDs in the DITL
 data.
 
 This was discussed in the last year or so of ‘discussions’ related
 to name collision. Trivial to game, difficulties finding the actual 
 source, difficulties in establishing what could be an issue vs. a 
 false positive, etc.

I've tried (I hope) to make it clear whenever opportune, that OARC's
DITL data should only ever have been regarded as *a* source of
policy-informing analysis for Name Collisions, and should not in any way
be regarded as comprehensive or definitive. We were more than happy to
step up with what we had in the absence of anything else, but other data
sources would have been and would remain welcome.

It seems we may be seeing the first signs of the gap between reality and
the dimensionally-constrained worldview of OARC data. Here's a couple of
ideas I'd like to put out there:

- now that various of the nTLDs have been delegated into Controlled
  Interruption mode, would it be helpful for OARC to do an additional
  (or periodic) DITL capture(s), so we can get some comparison between
  what we thought we'd be seeing and what are seeing ?

- are there any other types of data-gathering that OARC could perform
  for the community that would help us understand these issues better
  (and if so what, and who would like to help) ? There were some
  proposals for such data gathering mooted, but AIUI did not get
  sufficient support in the ICANN process to be mandated.
