In what you have written below John, you have used the term "individual user" at least three times in a more or less technical way. I assume then that you have a fairly rigorous i.e. non-ambiguous definition for "individual user".
Nothing exotic, "individual user" means, well, an individual user. People who use the net for their own purposes, as opposed to people who use it within a business or organizational context. There is a difference of opinion within the ALAC whether that means people who register domains for their own use, or all people who use the net including the large majority who have never registered a domain and never will. Personally, I mean the latter group, since there are serious issues that affect them and aren't addressed elsewhere like domain squatting. The whole issue of .XXX and similar domains is also an issue not well addressed elsewhere. The porn industry has decidedly mixed enthusiasm for it, and it's supposed to provide a benefit for individuals who either want more access or less access to porn for themselves and their families. There's also considerable overlap between individual use and other kinds, e.g., if you send email to your spouse from work asking what groceries to pick up on the way home, that seems to me individual use even though you might be using your work access to do it.
