Just a quick remark on that. ICANN CFO Andrew McLaughlin stated 
as the reason for the seven candidates cap that one doesn't
"want to overwhelm the staff". Seven candidates in five
regions, that's a total of 35 candidates. Interestingly, 
ICANN staff seems to do quite well with currently 88 member 
nomination candidates (45 European).

It's probably up to the candidates to challenge this under
ICANN's Reconsideration Policy. They could even request
a temporary stay of the action.
