I am crossposting this from the ifwp list, where we were discussing ccTLD's
where individuals are not allowed to register (quite a few) , because it
has relevance for our membership rules.
There is an increasing trend of individuals registering under higher level
domains.(of ISP's)

With the current definition of Domain Name, these should be covered by our
membership rules, I believe.
