To the extent that anyone cares about policy drift in .museum, they are the
next TLD after .pro to realize that restricting registration to the third
level is a dumb idea, and .museum now offers direct second-level
registration.  Further, they have not complied with ICANN's reserved name
list requirements and are resolving, for example, icann.museum for the
registry's own use.

The ICANN Museum is, of course, a thing of wonder.  Part "Ripley's Believe
It Or Not" and part "Lenin's Tomb", visiting throngs thrill to the
animatronic reproductions of board meetings, the lifelike wax figures of
former board members, the large digital real-time display of hours billed by
Jones Day, and the broadcast of recordings made by microphones hidden by
Bret Fausett throughout the building.
