Separation of Registry/Registrar Services: Following the Phase 1 deployment of the Shared Registration System, NSI shall make a certification to the USG every six months designed to demonstrate by means of objective criteria, which shall be agreed upon between USG and NSI, that NSI is providing all licensed Accredited Registrars with equal access to its registry services. NSI also will by February 1, 1999, employ appropriate safeguards, approved by the USG, to ensure that revenues and assets of the registry are not utilized to financially advantage NSI's registrar activities to the detriment of other registrars.I read this as a requirement that NSI not lock any alternative registrars out, nor can they use the registry (or it's database) for unfair advantage.
I had a discussion about this with Ira Magaziner, and he assured me that NSIs registry would have to be divested of the registrar functions under this agreement. I think the phrase " ... assests of the registry not be utilized ... " addresses your concern (and mine.) Such assests would seem to me to include office space, connectivity, etc. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Patrick Greenwell (800) 299-1288 v CTO (925) 377-1212 v NameSecure (925) 377-1414 f Coming to the ISPF-II?
