No. Where there are registrars involved, you just need a registrar that can 
handle your domain name to support it. The registry-registrar interactions can 
remain unchanged.

with issues of registries and registrars; it's a DNS protocol issue. Changing 
the context to a policy one seems unlikely to result in additional light.

I understand. I think you're wrong.

I think that's a non-starter.
