Fixing things that were badly made, or that were designed for outmoded and
obsolete systems, and have broken down, is not always the wisest policy. It
often makes better sense, from the point of view of accomplishing one's
goals, to put aside the broken item and get another, or even more than one
other so as to have spares if one of those breaks down.
How many people aside from classic car enthusiasts spend their time and
money repairing twenty-year-old cars? At a certain point in the life of a
car the repairs are more cost-inefficient than buying a new car. This same
thing seems to have occurred with NSI and some of the ccTLD registries. They
are investing more time and money in trying to maintain a unique registry
and registrar than it's efficient and reasonable now to do. Does a large
organization like the Internet has become have only one vehicle for all its
transportation needs? No, it has cars for people, utility vans for local
movement of goods, and large trucks for long-distance hauling. This is the
state of the Internet. It needs different registries and registrars for
different purposes.
Trying to fix up the old faithful InterNIC to serve today's Internet in all
its needs is a losing proposition.
