James,

Early on it was difficult to find copies of the contract itself, but 
here is what NYC now has online. 
http://www1.nyc.gov/site/forward/initiatives/dotnyc/dotnycdocs.page The 
main contract with appendices is about 300 pages long. I assume that the 
600 page references are to the additional parts dealing with Domain 
names held on ICANN collision list; Domain names restricted by ICANN; 
Domain names reserved for marketing and business development; Domain 
names reserved for the City of New York; and the Premium names list.

Also, here is the link to the preliminary agreement:

For more information about how .nyc rolled out, your best bet is to 
contact Thomas Lowenhaupt. He is a key civil society person who has kept 
on top of the whole process.

These documents are good "food for thought" for potential Latin America, 
Africa and Asian applicants for new-gTLDs.
