[At-Large] R: News on the .health TLD allocation

[Alan Greenberg]

The issue has been discussed at some length. I 
haven't checked the current documents, but at one 
point, they were saying that to register a 
domain, you had to meet the regulatory or 
licensing rules in your country of residence. 
That being said, the monitoring and supporting 
organizations they reference are largely US-oriented.

It remains to be seen if the TLD ends up being 
largely US-centric, or has a much wider basis.
