This is a useful distinction, which I happen to like.
However, it does mean that we have to define “infrastructure”.
I’m hopeful there’s a baseline for which we could get broad

Unfortunately, in my experience, we do not have broad agreement on
whether having a domain name means you are part of the Internet
infrastructure.
And isn’t that why we’re here?
