What I never got was why they paid it? The only way I can see it, is if they were promised something. But to pay it on the chance of a fair shot to get the TLD seems odd in and of itself.

The following statement from ICANN staff, apparently a statement not
authorized by the board, to be one of the host hideous thing to ever be
emitted by ICANN. Given the statements from ICANN's highest authorities
that the year 2000 applicants who did not get the nod at that time were
merely placed on hold, this statement smacks of duplicity or worse.
In my mind it is tantamount to ICANN expropriating over $2,000,000, plus
interest for 7 years, plus the priority position for certain names, from
those who were not rejected, but not approved, in year 2000.

To add to this, there are rumors now that ICANN wants new TLD
applications to be accompanied by fees of one to two million US dollars.
Absurd. Unjustified. Despicable.
