While you are on the working group you might want to ask why the registry/registrar system is necessary at all?


Certainly it is possible to have other systems.

Over the years so many arbitrary assumptions have been imposed upon the DNS marketplace.

Why registry/registrar?

Why domain name rental in increments of one year to a maximum of ten years. Why not for a few months, why not for a lifetime?

Why rental for a period of time rather than fees for specific services (such as updating NS records)?

Etc.
