Domains Names May Be Getting More Complicated

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has approved the domain suffix .xxx. While this alone may come as a surprise, it's nothing compared to what the ICANN will meet on in mid-June. 
 
On June 20th, the ICANN will meet to discuss "opening up all possible domain name suffixes to registration." Should the requested suffix meet the yet to be determined guidelines, it will be approved and authorized to go live. What this means for domain names will, of course, be determined by how strict the ICANN's guidelines are.  A celebratory party is scheduled for two days after the ICANN's meeting. The odds of this not passing are slim.  
 
This would be a huge step toward the ATX Group's goal of registering .car domains. These domains would ostensibly be tailored for in car use.   
 
Let's hear it Giant Bomb. What are some fantastic domain suffixes you can come up with?

what sort of sites would utilize that? I still would have to imagine the majority of websites will still end in .com or .net. Plus, with the search engines getting more and more sophisticated and adept at answering queries, finding the right website usually isn't much of a problem.

I would say the name of my favorite custom domain, but it's utterly nsfw... or home for that matter really.

crazy that there are going to be more. i hope that the sites don't get complicated with names. i hope that the majority of them still hang with .com.

@iam3green: I imagine the majority will stick with .com. Once other suffixes become available, it will only further .com's legitimacy.
