John,
Note that I said it was a hybrid that involved registry and
registrar functions. NSI certainly provided registry
functions under InterNIC as it did registrar functions. But
there was not a registry per se.

"There was no registry"?! That's not what your agreement
with the US
Government states. From Amendment 11:
"In order to create an environment conducive to the
development of robust
competition among domain name registrars, NSI will, either
directly or by
contract, develop a protocol and associated software
supporting a system
that permits multiple registrars to provide registration
services within the
gTLDs for which NSI now acts as a registry (Shared
Registration System)."
The phrase "for which NSI now acts as a registry" seems
pretty clear to me.
