I seem to recall the there is such a thing as "grandfather" those that are
in place, freeze for any new, and then start anew, as of a date certain.
Gee, isn't that a time honored Internet behavior?

Hello Joop,

That's not enough.  The issue is that it is ENTIRELY inappropriate to
put into place restrictions on an existing TLD in such a fashion,
regardless of if the existing domains are exempted in any fashion.

If they want a non-commercial, or a non-profit, or some other
restricted type TLD, then they need to create it from scratch.  Making
this type of a major change in the policy of an existing TLD is
entirely inappropriate, and it was irresponsible of them to even
consider it, much less to bring it out into the public forum.
