IANA, as keepers of the root zone, recommended that new iTLD applications 
be filed following RFC1591 at "hostmaster@internic.net". The 
InterNIC/Network Solutions domain name template accepted TLD applications 
at the root, and forwarded those requests to IANA.

That is an official and formal process.
