I've only just got here. :-)

Here are two references:

CORE registrars were given permission by the POC:
http://www.gtld-mou.org/docs/faq.html#2.4

The Postel draft applicants were given "working documents" from IANA such 
as this one:
http://www.iiia.org/lists/newdom/current/2269.html
"prior use. The registration entit(y/ies) have extended energy and effort 
in devoting resources to ensure the proper deployment of said iTLD."

There are more documents out there. The newdom@ar.com archive appears to 
have been overwritten by more recent messages, so I can't point you there 
right now. Also, in a personal visit to IANA, I argued against charging for 
pre-sales but got veto'd by Bill Manning (much to Chris Ambler's 
amusement). Go figure.


Best Regards,

Simon
