Brian,

Thanks for the submission of your proposal and for keeping it short and simple. 
I am still reading through it and the implications.

I do have one question on the proposal that hopefully you can answer.

You state that the 15% ownership cap avoids creating ownership positions to 
discriminate against unaffiliated registrars. If a Registry did not act as a 
Registrar in the TLD that it owned or provided back end services for, so there 
was actually no affiliated registrar, wouldn't that accomplish the same goal ?  
Would we still need a 15% cap ?

Thanks
