You can run your own nameserver and add a new tld there. But this won't help you much, as the TLD will only be visible to the users who are using your own nameserver. The "official" TLD like ".ly" are countries, see: official list

The ICANN website does have a Contact page, and one subject category is "New gTLDs", so they probably get requests like this a lot. I don't know if they'd actually create an extension just for you, but if they get a lot of the same requests, I'm sure they'd do something about it.
