Dear Rob:&nbsp; dotMuseum was one of the first seven approved in
2000.&nbsp; I don't think it is new:<br><br>
<ul>
<li>The proposed agreement provides for the elimination of the wildcard. 
<li>Appendix S allows for the Sponsor to register names directly with the
Registry Operator, strictly limited to 5,000 names.

cards.&nbsp; Problem was difficulties caused by TLD longer that 3
characters.<br><br>
Another reason to strongly oppose any registrations directly by registry
is one of audits.&nbsp; How could we trust any registry to stop at, say,
5,000?  They should be audited.&nbsp; But we have seen how little hope
there is for ICANN to conduct an audit in the RegisterFly
case;-(<br><br>
