And also, on the other hand, if you have a regulated TLD, who regulates it?

If .SHOP was added, who'd decide what was a legitimate shop? Would it be
required to ship internationally? If it only shipped to US and CA, should it be
forced to use .com.us and .ca, or stay in the unregulated .com space?


New TLDs could be restricted to countries only. IE, if the US sees that there is
a desire for .MUSEUM, then they can add it as .museum.com.us
