Your Region or Alliance [dot] NationState?

I might start a home business soon by being an independent registrar for some domains related to the NationStates game: .ns1, .ns2 and .nationstate. That way your regions or alliances' off-site forums or pages can finally have a good gTLD. I've put my opinions to the ICANN public site, which can be seen here (http://public.icann.org/en/node/1162). I think the liberalization of gTLDs is going to be great.
What do you think? Should I add more?

What exactly are your obligations as a registrar?

given that Nationstates is a trademark, do you need/have permission to use it?

No no folks. The real question is "Any reason I should care?"

I'd run it by Max. In fact, I'll point this thread out to him.

How do you expect us to know that when you're being so subtle?

[violet] manages the game. Max Barry owns it. Ownership and legality questions get addressed to Max.
Does that address your trick question completely?

I wonder if Max is super rich.

It's all about my image. If I come across as a total idiot then maybe I'll get the truth out of pity.

first of all, i don't think TLD liberalisation is a good thing - i feel it will cause more confusion than it will solve. and second, isn't getting that accepted by ICANN going to cost a small fortune to you? last i heard, even after the new rules are in place, for the next few years only large corporations will be able to afford this shit.

Information for budding registrars: http://www.icann.org/registrars
There are some other gTLDs I am considering to registrar, such as:
.vnat (virtual nation)
.myworld
.person
.who
.history
Let's beat the corporations, should we?
