I'm sorry, I was not referring to the .US TLD. I'm a .us registrant 
myself; I am well aware of the existence of private .us subdomains. I 
was referring to the ci.[locality-name].[2-letter-state-code].us 
domains specifically. Those may only be registered to local gov't 
entities. In fact that was how I was able to know the identity of 
Mike's customer.
