Postel and Reynold's laid this out in RFC 920...
"Temporary
ARPA = The current ARPA-Internet hosts.

GOV = Government, any government related domains meeting the
second level requirements.
EDU = Education, any education related domains meeting the
second level requirements.
COM = Commercial, any commercial related domains meeting the

True. But when a TLD is created for a purpose, that purpose should be
excluded from .ORG. Hence, .NAME removes the need to put personal
domains in .ORG, the existence of .COM means that a business entity
should not be able to register in .NET or .ORG just because its .COM
peer was taken, etc.
