As a consumer, I would rather have uniform policies, practices and
whois systems at the registry level. This makes it easier for me, and
more secure. What I expect choice in is price, service, bundled
services, and the like.
The thin registry model was nothing but a justification for NSI to
claim the whois database as their "customer" database.
I will not recognize that.
