[governance] implications of private TLDs

[parminder]

Matthias,

Thanks for your observations. I did read the Loreal application before I 
wrote the article. Stage 1 and stage 2 are what they commit to which 
consists of allowing only Loreal and close partners (as selected by 
Loreal) to register.... This is consistent with saying that Loreal will 
be able use it like its private property..... In any case, the article 
explicates the meaning of private against public use in specifically 
giving the example of how a corner beauty salon would not be able to 
freely seek registration under .beauty.
