.us domain request denied ????

[Kevin Darcy]

Well, if you want to go that far, there are other places on that same website which use
non-discretionary language: see the pages under http://www.nic.us/overview.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like this non-discretionary language would trump any
discretionary language to be found in the same body of rules.

In any case, that particular section is irrelevant to the dispute at hand. Even if the City
of Naperville is permitted to put its hosts directly under naperville.il.us (as opposed to
ci.naperville.il.us), that fact alone doesn't permit them to *exclude* others from putting
their hosts there.
