Oh yes, I missed two! ThanksI thought there would be more with their partnership with .global. I guess the registrars aren't submitting the new gtlds they're all holding. No .globals in the mix?

Let's see which ones they have:
boater.club
chinese.restaurant
elbow.surgery
excite.nyc
newyork.pizza
psychic.chat
ny.taxi
video.rentals

Probably because of their previous experience with new gTLD sales took place on previous auctions.I wonder why they did that?
I took a look at the terms and conditions. I found this statement interesting, or rather troubling, for those who entered an agreement.
"ROTD reserves the right to change any of these terms and conditions at any time without notice."
Enter at your own risk. I wish you the best!Exactly.
I also find the auction fee too much; but still considering to apply some names with reserve.
- ROTD Private Sale and Premium Auction Fee Schedule and Policies
25% of the final selling price on auction Domain submission; or
Auction Commission & Payout Example:
Your desired Net Payout: $75,000
Reserve Price Before 25% Commission: $100,000 minimum
Also, I am not sure if I can compete with such quality keywords like "excite" and "boater", but that is maybe just me
The wording is at best confusing. It (now) says may be unable to auction... (whatever that means) and also says it applies to those designated premium by registry and then goes on to talk about the $75. So hypothetically an .icu designated as $16 premium, even though renewal is standard at less than $10, would be ineligible, or may be, as I read it. Or a club at $20 premium renewal is ineligible even though all .io that carry about $50 renewal are fine.
I also am amazed they ask people to submit on a website that is not https.
Does someone know who does the selection and if they have any expertise in ngTLDs?
