From scribe's note:

(I am not sure he was really against .web):
Leaves .web out. But looking for compelling
reasons to select applicants, rather than choosing anyone who can fit.
Cerf: Don’t
disagree with those suggestions.
• The
.biz and .inc fees would create exclusivity. Interesting idea.
• IOD’s .web is interesting because it has been in operation
for some time. Is their operation compatible with registrar protocols? Not inclined
to exclude them from list of potential candidates.

Online Design has been operating outside the standard root; has been pointed to by
a number of alternate roots over the last few years. 18,000 registrations to date,
a bit of a surge. System as currently operating is proprietary, single-registrar.
IOD proposed to be the sole registrar for a year, dropping to 60% with implementation
of a shared registration system. Don’t recall whether protocol perfectly matched
the NSI Registry. Proposed to charge $35/year for each registration during the first
year. Under competitive registrar model, would charge registry fee of $15 per registrant.

Dyson:
Notion of a single registry with a single registrar might not
be out of hand in a world of competitive TLDs.
•
Cerf: Failure of either registrar or registry would put at risk the whole TLD at
risk under a single-registrar/single-registry model.

not able to understand clearly SPOKEN English, expecially by Real Player...
So
I have to read scribe's notes to be sure I understand

minutes)
