Well, don't sign that check yet.  The waiver is on the application form
for prospective registrars.

You agree to it as an integral part of the application process, and I am

The URL is http://www.gtld-mou.org/docs/application.htm , titled
"Application Form to Qualify to sign the CORE-MoU, Submitted to the
Internet Council of Registrars (CORE)".

If you still can't get it, andi, I will happily capture and e-mail you
the appliucation form's text in its entirety.  I'm sure the gTLD folks
won't mind.
