Re: [gnso-reg-sgc] Commercial vs. Non-commercial

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

hi,

i am having some trouble understanding the implications of the  
decision procedure.
A couple of test questions that might help me;

- would the person advertising a local garage sale be commercial?
- would  a person advertising an online 'garage sale' be commercial?
- would a person putting their resume on line saying they were  
looking for work be commercial?
- does engaging in ebay make you commercial?
- does raising funds for a charity on line make one commercial?
- if someone keeps the records for the local futbol team, their wine  
society, or the local theatre group, are they commercial?

a.
