[ga] Registries get first shot at 10,000 free domains

From the article:

  "[...A] registrar is given free rein to select up to 10,000 domains
  that they wish to possess - something that to our minds is a little
  excessive. Of these, only half need have anything to do with the
  registry business. Under the ICANN contract: "Registry Operator may
  register the domain names listed on Appendix X (PartA) for its own use
  in operating the registry and providing Registry Services under this
  Agreement, provided the total number of domain names listed on
  Appendix X at any time does not exceed 5000". A further 5,000 are
  allowed "for its own use"."
