At the moment, nothing.  

Remember, we also have a draft about .HOME and .CORP and .MAIL.  ICANN
says they're not planning to delegate those names, but they have about
20 active applications and $3.7M in application fees for those names
which suggests that their plan may not be entirely final.  That's why
I think we need an ongoing way to identify names that should stay out
of the DNS for engineering reasons.
