Please stop using my name as if I were a registry. I am not. There are
many companies that are, and many that want to be. I own part of one.
But it's not me, personally.

Regardless, the IAHC plan makes a hell of a lot of sense, if you take
the assumption that the IAHC's stated goal of a single registry is the
implemented solution. It's not. It won't be. So once you have multiple
registries, you're in a whole new ballgame. Whole new ballpark, for
that matter.

Things have CHANGED since the IAHC, Perry. For the worse, for
the better, like them or hate them, they've still changed.

Only because there is a single registry for 800 numbers. Are you, then,
advocating a single registry for all domain names?
