Kent and all, especially DNSO.net
It says *any*, not *every* individual, etc.
To me this means eligibility, a right to join, not automated compulsion.
Did you seriously think I meant otherwise?
Feel free to make the language still less ambiguous.
May I take your comments as supportive of the idea, though? Or are you

Unrealistic in view of autonomous dictatorial ccTLD's that even ICANN can't
control?
Or worth taking on board?
