Marcus, We support it. Sounds great. But I do have have one question. What does a Registry put when the Registrar is not an offical Registrar, yet still is the Registrar-of-record? Examples: R222-LROR = Afilias Reserved 1 R194-LRMS = Test Registrar 1 R197-LROR = Verisign Global Registry Services R198-LROR = VeriSign GRS (ORG) R214-LROR = VGRS Internal390 R233-LROR = LibertyRMS Co. (PIR's fake company) R12-LROR = 7 DC, Inc. (PIR's fake company) R121-LROR = Vayala Corp. (PIR's fake company) R152-LROR = Affinity Internet, Inc. (PIR's fake company) TERMINATED REGISTRAR found at VeriSign-GRS Do all these have IANA IDs? If not, what number do they get? Or what happens to these Registrars? It seams like lots of domains get registered by non-ICANN registrars. Marcus I 100% agree with you, IANA IDs would make this a lot easier.

The effect would be that for example CORE is IANA-15 in all registry communication and not R135-LRMS at Afilias, R23-LROR at PIR and so on. Especially transfers would become simpler, e.g. registrants will be less confused who they want to transfer their domain to, Yours, Marcus
