In a way, .COM is special: it is by far the largest TLD and for many people the reference TLD. One can probably argue that it has a form of dominance on the market that calls for special rules. But in the case of wildcards in .COM, there was another reason: they did not exist at the beginning and people were used to a .COM without wildcards. Adding them later broke this assumption and created a lot of problems. On the other hand, wildcards in .MUSEUM were never a big cause of uproar because .MUSEUM had wildcards from the beginning. _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations dns-jobs mailing list https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-jobs
