with the skyrocketing prices of traditional TLD domains (.com, .net, etc.), people are turning towards more creative domains alternative using non-traditional TLD's... eg. del.icio.us, bla.st, etc.

my question is, how safe/secure is it to buy, use and base a business on these TLD's... (of course this is assuming the TLD permits foreigners or those "without a presence in the country" to buy in the first place)

my fear is you build up some big ass site and if the TLD governing body for whatever reason pulls the plug on you, gets nuked, gets invaded, whatever.. what happens? can ICANN do anything for you? do you have any recourse?
