Excelent point, fully agree. From a technological point of view, the differences for managing <a href="http://ibm.com">ibm.com</a> and for managing .ibm should be close to zero.<div><br></div><div>Yet, if you want to resell... that's a totally new scenario...</div>

My point however is that as a private TLD the other conditions are not
