Registrars, meet Federal Rule of Civil Procedure No. 24

Rule 24. Intervention 

(a) Intervention of Right.
Upon timely application anyone shall be permitted to intervene in an action:
(1) when a statute of the United States confers an unconditional right to
intervene; or (2) when the applicant claims an interest relating to the
property or transaction which is the subject of the action and the applicant
is so situated that the disposition of the action may as a practical matter
impair or impede the applicant's ability to protect that interest, unless
the applicant's interest is adequately represented by existing parties.

(b) Permissive Intervention.
Upon timely application anyone may be permitted to intervene in an action:
(1) when a statute of the United States confers a conditional right to
intervene; or (2) when an applicant's claim or defense and the main action
have a question of law or fact in common. When a party to an action relies
for ground of claim or defense upon any statute or executive order
administered by a federal or state governmental officer or agency or upon
any regulation, order, requirement, or agreement issued or made pursuant to
the statute or executive order, the officer or agency upon timely
application may be permitted to intervene in the action. In exercising its
discretion the court shall consider whether the intervention will unduly
delay or prejudice the adjudication of the rights of the original parties.
