Hi Robert,

I agree with your points, but would add another couple of points I think 
of as important:
- a name cannot be made available for use by another beneficiary (no 
dotFacebook as SRSU), i.e. the content is fully controlled by the registry.
- a narrowly defined legal entity as registry, i.e. no clubs, membership 
organizations (this should be phrased to exclude all pseudo-SRSU applicants.
We need to make sure that equal and exclusive access of registras shall 
not be circumventable by SRSU registries that are too widely defined.

I will go with a "Yes" in this regard, but would tend to replace 
"allowed" by "required".
