[ALAC] .post Agreement Amendment Request

[Alan Greenberg]

As I discovered when replying to Hong's comment, as far as I can 
find, there are no rules in the new gTLD Registry agreement about 
using non-CC TLDs at the second level. If anyone knows that I am 
wrong, please point me to the contract rule.

So (presuming no error on my part) if there were a .sport, edu.sport 
would be a valid registration.

Of course, old, new and prospective TLD registries (could attempt to 
get these 2nd level names during a sunrise-process I guess.
