True. In the former case, the shareholders of the registry ("stakeholders")
want to know why everybodys complaiing and when this will be fixed and
if you don't you can be replaced.

In the latter case, the oversight organization ("stakeholders") wants
to know why eveybody is complaiing and when will this be fixed and
if you don't you can be replaced.

Different folks, same strokes.
