Hello Kerry,
You are being web-centric here. A huge number of domains have no web-pages
(mostly in NET, YMMV). MHSC owns three of them. For those domains, the only
way you can determine charter compliance is by reviewing the business plan.
This cuts to the core of the implementation issues. It also cuts to an
essential issue regarding trademark infringement. A pure host site
<xyzzy.ibm.tld> can neither prove infringement or non-infringement, iff
they have no web-pages.
