Travis:

Some registries limit the amount of domains one user can register:
They limit the quantity to ten or to one hundred domains per user, and
this limits very much the capacity of firms dedicated to hosting
services, or similar services, to use the registry...

.ibu domains are not limited in this way: You can register all the
domains you want. This is the rule 3.

Of course, somebody can think "Well, if i can register all the domains
i want, i will register the complete Oxford English Dictionary"...

But this is unfair and socially unacceptable: This is the reason to rule 4.

About rule 5, some others can accept irony or parody as a valid reason
to register "cocacola.ibu", but we want to be serious. If somebody
want to make a web page to ridiculize or criticize cocacola, we
encorage them to use the .parody OpenNIC tld to do that: This is more
honest and funny.

And well, if you register "musica.ibu" you will notice from the .ibu
namespace judges "Hey, men, this is a very generic domain, are you
consider to limit its meaning little more?... If you dont put a very
very big web page with all the music (or near it), your register could
be denied..."

And if you dont put any contents on it, of course the register will be denied.

But if you have a music enciclopedia very useful and with many
information recollected since years, all around music, and register
music.ibu to point to it, you will be welcome.

This is the explanation of our rule number 6 you said "its awfull".

Perhaps you have better rules for your tld, if this is true, please
post a link here: We will study them carefully...

PD: As conclusion, we can say "Our registry is oriented to fair
content", but this is very imprecise... And we want to write rules
more precise and as examples...

To avoid conflicts, which are the target we want to center...
(With the less effort and more clarity, honesty and simplicity we could 
get...)
