The Government of Montenegro recognized the potential worldwide appeal that .ME could have and decided it should be operated as a generic name space to gain the maximum benefit for Montenegro. The Government issued a public RFP in November 2007. The goal of the RFP was to find a Registration Agent that could operate an international registry, provide world class backend registry services, and provide the marketing and promotional muscle needed to make .ME a worldwide success. Ultimately, we believe they made an excellent choice!
The contract was awarded to doMEn, d.o.o., a Montenegro based joint venture (doing business as .ME Registry) whose partners are Afilias Limited, GoDaddy.com, Inc., and ME-net d.o.o.
Landrush will start June 6 till June 26, domain names with more than 2 applications will go into Auction.
I honestly dont think it will be that hot. There will be some people that will try and register some cooler ones like bigsotong stated, but overall i dont think they will be that big of a success.

Some interesting domain hacks you have got there. Probably I will get a few myself. But since it is still new and Landrush only happening in June, let's see how the market reacts
lol well it all depends how much these cost to register because if i can get a good one like help.me or something like that i might take it and try selling it, but as far as regular domains like google.me or something stupid. I dont think they will be that great.
