As the web site says : P2P means "Peer-2-Peer" exchanged DNS data and is not about file sharing.
The project explained here wants to create a domain name extension without going through the ICANN procedure.

.P2P project without ICANN ?

Launching a Top Level Domain is a complex task.
"W" is a voiced labial-velar approximant symbol : an optional IDN specific requirement would an applicant choose to provide his applied-for generic Top-Level Domain string notated according to the International Phonetic Alphabet (http://www.langsci.ucl.ac.uk/ipa/IPA_chart_(C)2005.pdf).
Complex you said ?
Note you'd also better read english because all versions of the applicant guidebook, almost all communications and public comments are, and have been, published in english and until you are provided a version in your language, you will have to go through the understanding of this complex program in english.
"Je sais, c'est en français que je devrais écrire."
The more I read the "proposed final new gTLD applicant guidebook", the more I think it is...

...to try the adventure of launching a community, a brand or any other TLD project on someone's own. Not only it requires a budget but another requirement is to understand the methodology to apply.
Filling in the ICANN's form alone would probably drive an application to be rejected.
And this is where I like to say : "chacun son métier". My knowledge is to decrypt the ICANN's applicant guidebook and explain interested parties the benefit they can have of developing their own domain name extension.
Having the budget is one thing but :

Having the budget is one thing but :

- reporting to ICANN ;
- connecting to partners ;
- contracting with partners ;
- collecting letters of endorsement ;
- pricing domain names ;
- building a technical platform ;
- providing full description of a registry service provider (IDNs, EPP, DNSSEC, Escrow...) ;
- imagining THE business model in a strong business plan ;
- demonstrate you have enough funds ;
- scoring and passing all tests...

Get rid of the .COM in front of a .AU
A interesting change could happen soon with .AU domain names. The .AU registry invites the public to comment its policies. In a document entitled "REVIEW OF .AU POLICY FRAMEWORK", issues are raised and one attracted my attention because this is where a registry gets an opportunity to earn a lot of money "1H: Direct registrations under .au". (http://www.auda.org.au/pdf/2010npp-discussion-paper.pdf)

Vertical Integration (VI) and domainers

Un changement majeur du nommage sur Internet !
Un changement majeur ce matin dans l'industrie des noms de domaine. L'organisme de gouvernance des noms de domaine, l'ICANN, vient d'autoriser les registrars (bureaux d'enregistrement accrédités) à "acheter", exploiter des extensions de noms de domaine.
Dans le cas qui nous intéresse, cela veut dire qu'un prestataire de service qui vend des noms de domaine peut s'approprier une extension Internet pour la communauté du vin et la commercialiser.
Cela veut dire plusieurs choses pour les utilisateurs :
- Il ne sera plus obligatoire de passer par un registrar pour acheter un nom de domaine. Par exemple, il sera possible d'acheter un nom de domaine du vin (ex : chateaulatour.wine) directement auprès du registre, le propriétaire de l'extension Internet ;
- Le prix d'achat pourrait être le plus bas du marché si le registre souhaite vendre des noms de domaine directement aux intéressés ;
- Le prix de vente pourrait être plus élevé si le registre préfère exploiter le réseau des bureaux d'enregistrement accrédités. Cela a d'ailleurs plusieurs avantages :
...je n'en dis pas plus et laisse libre cours à votre imagination :-)

- Les registrars s'accréditent auprès du registre et engagent des fonds en amont ;
- Les registrars ont déjà leurs clients et communiqueront auprès d'eux au sujet de cette nouvelle extension : une force de vente considérable lorsque l'on sait que certains registrars ont une très forte notoriété et un portefeuille de clients considérables.

.WALES or .CWL for the Welsh community ?
.CYM is listed in ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 list and is reserved for the Cayman Islands.
For his reason dotCYM, applying at ICANN to represent the Welsh cultural and linguistic community, would like to hear users' opinion for a new choice of string : .cymru, .cwl (Cymru Wales) or .wales ?
