Good. I hope they never do. It'd be so nice to see a true landrush on a new extension. They should make these puppies $100 each and restrict registrations to 5 names per IP, per day.

They did not launch it in the first half of the year because ICANN delegated them the .me tld on September 11th. So I think they will need some preparation.

From their site:
As we have previously stated, this approval ICANN has to forward to the Ministry of Commerce of the USA for consideration.
The following step is to forward request for registration of our domain to DNS root zones. This process usually takes several weeks!

So I guess it will not be that soon.
