What are the current .museum naming rules and principles?
The naming rules and principles are covered in our Name Requests section, but in summary they are these: • The applicant must be a bone fide museum or museum professional, according to ICOM’s definitions. • The .museum name must be clearly derived from the well-known name of the organization, institution or museum professional registering the domain. • The .museum name must contain sufficient information to provide users with an idea of the museum’s disciplinary focus, its location, or both. • The .museum name must be specific enough to minimize the potential for confusion with other museums. • The name must be at least three-levels deep.
