For context, the current batch of applicants to new Top Level Domains is closed, and the next batch of applicants won't be accepted for 5 years or more. It cost (this time around) $185000USD to apply, and resulted in over 300 pages of paperwork and forms filled out for an application. It also requires getting up and running with a reliable, DNSSEC-signed, DNS server within 6 months of your application being approved. -tom _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
