Oops, that should have been: http://www.opensrs.org/archives/discuss-list/0201/0339.html The "problem" of all the new accreditations is indeed troubling. ICANN and VeriSign do get the money from that, though. Longer-term, perhaps some logarithmically weighted allocation system might be appropriate for access to the batch pool, i.e. linked to registration volume or some other metric (perhaps involved multiple factors). However, that allocation scheme must still allow for competition from new entrants, without favouring established registrars too much. I'm thinking perhaps some baseline number of threads plus a bonus based on number of active domains for that registrar. But, it would need to be a formula that is carefully thought out, perhaps even with a cap (i.e. to not give NSI, etc. 100x the number of threads as TodaysNewRegistrar.com, but perhaps only double or triple). Alternatively, penalizing "related parties" from gaining extra accreditations would be plausible, but would have to be carefully thought out. Given VeriSign's and ICANN's track records, I would not trust either to come up with a viable scheme, but instead it would need to be a true consensus, from the other constituencies, to still ensure "equal access" is obeyed in spirit.
