The existing RRP is only suitable for registry models that replicate
the existing NSI model identically. While I have no overwhelming
issues with Verisign's operations, we must not forget that it is a
negotiated construct that was primarily determined by political
dynamics.

Functional requirements dictated in such a manner do not make for
enduring protocol specifications.

As such, we can only endorse the former statement, "Registrars favor
use of a Registry Registrar Protocol that will ensure fair access for
all Registrars, and encourage that a protocol be submitted to the
IETF such that an open source solution will be available to all
registries."

ObDisclaimer: Tucows is an active participant in a number of ngTLD
proposals that favor an extended or modified protocol.
