Looks like a policy issue to me Christopher, moreover a GNSO policy issue.

PS: ( c) A subset of this issue has already been evoked in the draft CWG Response, which we received earlier today. See III.A.1.3.2. From which I deduce that the matter should be addressed somehow, somewhere. (d) From a regulatory point of view, the principal objection to attributing operational decision-making powers to a subset of designated Registries (aka. "customers") is indeed the risk of collusion and conflict of interest. Regards CW On 25 Feb 2015, at 12:32, CW Lists <lists@christopherwilkinson.eu> wrote:

Good morning:

(a) most of what CWG is dealing with has 'policy' implications.

(b) the GNSO track record on competition and conflict of interest is not convincing.

CW

PS: The author of the 'detailed description' (who?) appears to have encapsulated the issue quite clearly.
