Hello everyone,
List members may have already picked up from the press the announcement of
new internet domain names, including the new '.museum'. If not see the press
report at http://www.icann.org/announcements/icann-pr16nov00.htm . Does
anyone know anything about the organisation that put this idea forward, the
'Museum Domain Management Association, (MDMA)'? Will this development mean a
whole lot of work to ensure that museums have the .museum version of thier
site registered, as well as the .org or .gov or .co versions? Looks like a
further opportunity for unscruplous bulk buying up of names and re-selling
them to hard-pressed museum web-site managers!
