We are entering definitional hell. How does one measure "commercial" use,
or lack of commercial use? Is it measured by the activity of the holder
of the domain or by those who actually pass traffic with that domain name
in some header or address or name field? Is there a threshold under which
profit-making activity would be considered too small to be "commercial"?
Do parents get to leverage domains given to children (it seems that they
can with regard to political contributions, so why not voting on dns
matters?)
Classifying people into constituencies is "a bad thing"(tm).
