Thanks.  This seems unlike the Canadian situation where holding the 
national level domain name, wikimedia.ca, gives me the right to 
authorize provincial sub-domains.  Originally registering a provincial 
sub-domain would block others from that national domain, but not from 
the sub-domain for a different province.
