Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how a bunch of different entities providing fragmented "post-allocation services" is of any benefit.
Some folks find competition in service providers beneficial.
I agree that competition can be quite useful and the result doesn't necessarily have to be be fragmented; it's quite possible to provide transparent referrals to make the services appear as a consistent whole. This requires understanding where the competition is being introduced; is it a single registry and multiple registrars, or multiple registries and synchronization, or some other model? Is there an architecture for this future model, or perhaps even a starting set of goals to work towards agreement on? David - can you share more about what you believe is being proposed? /John
