Do you have to sign up for Route 53 to get that section? It appears that I have to pay just to be a member. Or maybe I'm just finding the wrong thing.

I think you need an AWS account. Then login, go to dashboard->route 53. But there is no option for the .bot tld yet.

Perhaps keep an eye on this list: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/reg...

Looking through that Gandi seem to be a strong associate, they are pre-reserving there.
