But surely usp.edu would have been the appropriate one, it is an educational
institution.  And dont claim that .edu implies US.  There are lots of
universities in Canada and other places that will argue against that one.

Getting back to the "International Antartic Centre", it seems to me that this
is an international centre and it is an antartic centre so one of iac.aq or
iac.int is more appropriate than iac.nz.
