What about .ca.us? How do they choose between .us and .gov?

The problem with .us here is that private entities can register domains there.

I think this change is great, because when you are looking for official information for a city or county and all you find is a .com, there's no way to be sure it's legit. Using .gov signals it's official, but .us does not.
