You are right. Do you know if such a registry exists? If not, why do we
not set one up and apply for a TLD with ICANN *now*? I'm serious. There
would be so many advantages to a cooperative registry. For one it wouldn't
make profit. The domains would be as inexpensive as possible. It could
limit the number of domains one could hold. It could do its own UDRP :-)
If 5000 people would each "bet" $10, and pledge another $25 when the
application is approved, it could be done.
