Most likely you'd show them your bank book, a nice white paper, a business
plan, and proof that you can actually do the technological backflips
required to run a Registry (not toooo hard, but you'll need more than an
O'Reilly Learn C book to do so...).
Then, <for example> if *I* got a .chuck TLD, I could opt to be the sole
proprietor for said TLD - and charge whatever I wanted for
registrations... OR I could open up to anyone that wanted to sell .chuck
TLDs - maybe a fee based service - or a pay one price...
I think the $50,000 just to apply is a little steep - but I think it's
also meant to be a 'serious offers only please' incentive...
Maybe... *hrmm...* You know, if I had $50,000 *grin*
