Should new 2LD's in au be introduced based on demand or providing greater 
choice?

If someone like IBM, for instance, came along and asked for ibm.au, I 
don't see any problem with that as long as management of the 2LD is 
efficient, and auDA could charge a hefty sum for the right to have a 2LD.

I wouldn't like to see 2LD's handed out to anyone, major corporations at 
first maybe, see how it goes.
