Hurrah, we need a personal domain TLD, but why isn't ICANN concerned that the costs associated with this application are so wildly out of sync with the other applications ?

A cynical mind would question whether the partners aren't feathering their own nests.  Hardware, software and services from one of the partners and a convoluted pricing mechanism that favors existing registrars (including Melbourne IT)....Where's the value add to the community as a whole, where's the transparency and where's the funding for the venture ?

The ICANN tender document makes it clear that having the business financed was an important issue, but it doesn't seem to rate very highly in their weighting of proposals.
