John, yes, I've been paying attention to the TLD space since Chris Ambler *first* put in his .web proposal -- what is that; 15 years now? 20? This is the first I've heard of *the possibility of TLD registrars being end-user internal/exclusive*. People have made jokes about company TLDs in the past, sure, but no, I never heard any specific discussion about it actually happening; I invite citations. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
