That is correct - dot.god domains registered during the beta test are
free.  The registration fee is waved including any prorated fees for
maintenance in 2000 and 2001.

However - when we go into production later this year, all domain holders
are required to send in a signed agreement which provides them with title
to the domain and will contain clauses for transffering the registry to
the domain holders within a specified period of time or under certain
performance conditions.  There will be a processing charge per agreement
leveyed.
