Dan,

Did you know that if NSI-Registrar was put out of business in a permanent,
WTC sense (god forbid), that there are currently no defined process for
recreating the service records for some 16 million or so registrants? I'd
say that fact alone makes ICANN an appropriate forum to discuss the issue.
We might not be able to wrap our arms around a lot of topics, but the ones
that we can are fairly important.

Thanks,
