Some TLD names (strings) are rejected by some service providers or applications because the strings exceed three characters in length (e.g. .museum or .aero) or do not meet some other formatting criteria. To facilitate and foster corporation among registry operators, ISPs, and other who deal with domain names on a regular basis, a discussion forum has been opened on this topic <http://forum.icann.org/lists/tld-acceptance/>.
