Re: [dns-wg] Elimination of 2nd level ccTLD domain names

For instance, see http://www.nominet.org.uk/Statistics/RegistrationStatistics/
Around 90% of all registered .uk domains are .co.uk domains.
        Anyone know what the distribution of company sizes are for those
registrations?
Company sizes have nothing to do with domain names.

        I ask because, at least in Belgium/France/Netherlands there are two
overall types of companies that you can create -- SA/NV and sprl/bvba.
In any case there are 4+2 in Holland: NV, CV, BV and eenmanszaak (plc);
stichting (foundation) and vereniging (society). They have in common
that they're all registered with the KvK (Chamber of Commerce).

If this distinction was made at the registry level (as well as others),
this might help break things into more manageable chunks.
It would reduce the perceived problem from one zillion to half a zillion.
