Dear John:  Has it occurred to anyone that Register.com was one of 
the five selected for the test bed.  As such, it should be clear that 
they registered through NSI, which was, at the time, registry and registrar?
Or that NSI was registrar and registry long before there was an ICANN.

This whole thing is silly.  Perhaps there is some other underlying 
problem that is being addressed, but it makes no sense for a 
registrar to have another registrar hold its principle domain name.
Does GM have GE hold and manage its Trademarks?  A registrar's 
principle domain name is part of its essential Intellectual 
Property.  Why would we let a competitor control it?
Whewww!!!
