Ranga,
It depends ;-)
Pledge P registers at a specific registrar B. B examines the audit log and
determines that P was previously registered at another registrar A. Now
B can see from theidentity of A in the audit log if A belongs to the
same trust domain as B. If yes, then B would likely happily re-register
P. Use-case: A failed and was replaced by B, or multiple registrars in
the trust domain. Alternative, A is not known to be in the same trust
domain by B, so B would refuse to register P, probably raise an
exception to operations. In this case, i could come up with a range of
use case examples what operations would do next.
Does this help ?
Cheers

P.S.: Experimenting if the old alias for the co-authors still work. I
think IETF tools keep it alife for a few years.
