If you are using the registry privately there is no cost. You can
create a TLD by adding a few lines to your naned.conf file. Being a TLD
is technically trivial if it's not connected to registrars.<br>

The issue is that the recovery cost as the based for the application<br>
fee it is not based on whatever the cost of running the registry is,<br>
perhaps Kurt's argument that $185K compared to the cost of running a<br>
registry is a minimal amount is not 100% correct.<br>
<br>
As far as I know the recovery cost is based on the costs associated<br>
with the evaluation of a string application for a new gTLD and as I<br>
mentioned before the bill does not stop at $185K, if you have to go to<br>
an extended evaluation or dispute you may have to add another<br>
$50-$150K to the final tab.<br>
