How about .fam top-level domain?

Here's a top-level domain that might go over pretty well: .fam, for
family domains.  I'd like to be able to set up something like
thibault.fam (Thibault is my mom's maiden name), to get all my mom's
side of the family some memorable, and stable, email addresses.  (As
it is, I'll probably wind up going for thibault.com, or .org [I don't
know what the rules are on this].)  Since families, like companies and
what-not, pretty much ignore geographic boundaries, it might make
sense to give them nongeographic domains.
