Second level domains for individuals

Hi Gabor,

First off, this is a hot debate in the RIPE DNS working group
(dns-rw at ripe.net), and I suggest followups to be sent there.

I know that at least for the NL TLD, it is required that one 
is registered in the Chambers of Commerce.
(I hope piet^H^H^H^Hhostmaster does not mind this translation
from the Dutch guidelines ;-)
