Reasoning: it will happen eventually, so we might as well prepare for
it. Plus there are two existing TLDs that already qualify - .GOV (US
Government) & .MIL (US Military). Some might argue that they are
insignificant organizations in the grand scheme of things (which may be
true), but they already have TLDs. It may be a long while before we see
.IBM or any other Private TLD. There's no reason to rush into this
category.
