As with most "really simple" answers, the reality is a bit more complicated.  
My impression of this draft is that it creates a space that would avoid some of 
the risks associated with RFC 6761. Politically, I suspect this is desirable, 
even to all the parties you mention. As for the fee, ICANN already defers to 
the IETF in protocol-related matters, so I don't see why a new gTLD fee would 
be applicable.  With my ICANN hat on, I'll look into this and report what I 
hear back.

Sure, why not?
