Do you mean a new GTLD with all the baggage that entails or a special
name with a signed delegation in the root zone as apposed to a
insecure delegation or some other mechanism?

The problem with the regular GTLD process is that there is a upfront
cost and annual costs as well as a whole guide book of rules which
are inappropriate for this exercise.

The special names process reserves the name.  It is silent about
adding delegations to the root zone (secure or insecure).

Third mechanism ????
