To add a data point, closed TLDs that require domains to meet a set of critieria aren't particularly new - some of the very old ones include .int (for international organizations), .aero (for airlines), .museum etc.

There does not appear to be a restraint of trade issue here, on the face of it - beyond which, any business at all can get a .com, .biz or whatever other TLD without any issues.

This is a big set back to public interest in this area, which highlights why ICANN requires public interest oversight, which is really effective and which related to global public interest..
