Sorry, this makes no sense at all. There is no way to "restrict"
certain types of domain name that has any meaningful effect, given the
absence of international jurisdiction, and IP addresses
relate to network topology not to content, so they can't be used
in this way, whatever misapprehensions some of the commission members may
be under.
