You will be refunded if you choose not enter the auction. For a domain like somethingobscure.me , most likely you will BECOME the owner when the time is up for pre-reg since nobody else will try to reg it.
microsoft.me is not going to happen for you in any way lolComment

Applications received during Landrush are treated as received at the same time. If there is only one applicant for a domain, it will be allocated to that applicant from the 28th June 2008, there is no definitive date in which the allocation of domains will be completed. Once allocated the domain will be active and live in the applicant's members area at Domainmonster.com.
If there is more than one applicant for the same domain name, all applicants will be invited to bid for that domain in an auction. The highest bidder will get the domain name. Auctions will commence no earlier than 7 days following the end of Landrush on 26th June 2008. You will receive at least 7 days notice of your auction commencing, using the email contact listed for the domain name registrant.
as long as I get my money back.. I didn't know it was an action thing.. bastards.Comment

Sad to say, you don't own them.
According to http://www.domain.me the .ME roll out schedule is the following:
And worse, if someone else also regged the same domain, it will go to auction.May 1 15:00 UTC (Universal Coordinated Time) - May 6 17:00 UTC: Montenegrin Sunrise
May 6 17:00 UTC - May 20 17:00 UTC: General Sunrise
May 20 17:00 UTC - June 6 15:00 UTC: Quiet Period
June 6 15:00 UTC - June 26 17:00 UTC: Land Rush
June 26 17:00 UTC - July 17 15:00 UTC: Quiet Period
July 17 15:00 UTC: Open Registration
On a related note, microsoft.me will likely be tossed out - though interestingly, Microsoft is not guaranteed to get it if someone else with standing also applies for it during the sunrise period. Even sunrise applications can go to auction.
To digress a bit, .ME rollout, like many others in the past, is optimized as a money grab - a few people will make a fortune while most folks will spend way more than they should for names of limited to no real use...
ccTLDs are governed by the rules and laws of the sponsoring country - that matters because they reserve the right to take away domains anytime for any reason...
And yes, that happens ... even in .US too, such as with my FuckCensorship.US domain registration which was accepted and resolved, but then was taken back, and is now in a state of perputial limbo.
Point is that ccTLDs come with extra risks, limitations, and even extra costs that many registrants aren't fully aware of...
Hopefully you paid with a credit card - most likely, if the registration doesn't go through, you'll automatically get your money back, but that's not a sure thing for various reasons. You may want to contact your registrar to determine their policies regarding the .ME rollout.

Which is why these ccTLD domains are all just money grabs anyways.... other than the .com, .net and .org every other domain is a waste of money I would imagine.
