TLDs are interesting, intriguing and hard. TLDs serve as a classification structure for various aspects of human interest, knowledge, creativity and commerce... Where should the canonical for TLDs come from? Should a particular interest have its own TLD, regardless of topic - how to measure when to provide a TLD -- is it scale of interested people? is it ideologically based? As such, should there be a .dem and a .gop? if so, then should them be a .socialist? .nazi? .zionist? etc? Some of the current TLDs are silly, to me, but what is the barrier to entry and what is the criteria for approval? And most importantly, WHO APPROVES? Like literally - the names of the people who actually make TLDs happen?
