The following is excerpted from the applicant's response to question #18:
* Our recognition that registrants of a .MIAMI domain name will self-select because they have an interest in Miami, naturally reducing the number of potential registrants; and, because restrictive policies such as, for example, requiring membership in a specific organization or organizations, would exclude many legitimate registrants from obtaining a .MIAMI domain name. For example, and by way of illustration, if membership an organization were required for registration, businesses and charitable organizations that would find a .MIAMI top-level domain name an effective marketing tool would be excluded from registering a .MIAMI domain name as they might not be eligible to be members in an organization that accepted only natural persons for membership."<ref>[http://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/applicationdetails/1529 Application Download, gTLDresult.ICANN.org] Retrieved 28 Feb 2013</ref>
