First target: twice as many as now.

why?  how will that improve life on the internet?

Basically, it will take some of the exclusiveness out of the TLD concept.
That is a good thing for peace and quiet on several mailing lists and on
the Internet name debate in general. 
I hope it would shut the nutcases arguing about new TLDs up, because they
have been given what they so hotly desire (why escapes me, but I suppose
they believe they'll make a big bag of money selling domain names. Good
luck.) 

Technically, it is no problem to keep 500 delegations in sync -- even with
higher demands on correctness than are made today, both for the root and
most TLDs. 

However, there can only be one root. That is not up for discussion. (in
case somebody thought I think so.)
