I've been pushing for this since before Santiago.  I've even setup a
list for this to be discussed should the noise be too loud over here.

As yet, there seems to be little enthusiasm for doing this.

I think that this is the major sticking point, also.  If we can come
up with reasonable accreditation standards, the actual contractual
obligations of the registry, that satisfy the significant concerns of
the various "thought camps" then many of the arguments about
quantities, etc, could be resolved a lot easier.

If I am reading people correctly, they want to know this before
committing to any "number."  Voting on a "number" now is putting the
cart before the horse.  People need to know what they are voting on
first.  If the standards are satisfactory, many of the concerns over
numbers might be alleviated, and could encourage compromises that
bring the "thought camps" closer together.
