Volker: 
We are at a point in the discussion where special interests (such as, e.g., 
registrars, whose perspective you hold) need to think beyond their own economic 
self-interest and make their arguments in terms that appeal to a broader public 
interest. 

So when you say that "we" have to bend over backwards to ensure that SRSUs 
don't circumvent registrars, can you explain to me, as a representative of 
noncommercial users, why that advances public interest goals? Or are you only 
thinking about protecting markets for your particular business?
 
If TLD names are not sold and organizations can manage their own name internal 
space, how can it encroach on any legitimate rights of registrars? Sounds to me 
like you are proposing to force companies that don't want to use registrars to 
use them.
