The plan from Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers would allow third parties to object to proposed TLDs on several grounds, but the proposal is an attempt to open up a TLD process that has been cumbersome in the past. ICANN would charge groups $185,000 to apply for a generic TLD, with most of the money going toward evaluation of the application.
{what does the above mean -- $185000 to evaluate it -- first class travel .. ?? djf
