Re: EPP extensions working group

+1.

I went into the Vertical Integration Working Group (an ICANN thing)
with the hope that a 15% registry ownership cap in registrars would
force a 7-to-1 shared resource pattern.

The ICANN Board decided each registry could be its own registrar.

Fortunately, the vast majority of the ~2k applicants settled on one of
~40 registry service providers, and these share costs, hence fate,
across multiple tenant registry contract holders.

But fundamentally, the shared registrar (poli-db-access-agent) is
broken by the uni-db-access-agent, historically do-what-vgrs-does, now
do-what-each-go-it-alone-operator-does, with the semi-orthogonal
feature of ~.2k non-gTLDs, some of which are "in scope".

I don't expect chocolate from paf any time soon.
