Question about top-level domains?

Hello,

I have a question or better need a clarification about the report of the DNS
working group (on the 14 Ripe meeting in Prag, 25-27.1.1993)


One of the topics was the "propper" top-level domain of multinational 
organizations, like European Parliament. (case of the day)

The suggestions were:

.org: rejected because it is not a North American organization.
      
My questions are the following: Is there anywhere mentioned that .org top-level domain is only for North America organisations?
Or does this rejection have any other reasons?

The solution choosen (again for the European Parliament) was using the country 
top level domain and have the name reserved in every (member?) country.

This solution implies for me that any European Institution (which has a similiar
status like the European Parliament) should follow that roule (or would it be 
acceptable that other institutions would achieve different solutions? I hope so,because I hate changing names :-))
