[Chapter-delegates] Internet Society Appointments to theNTIA/IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group

[Christian de Larrinaga]

This is a curious argument. I've seen it on AT Large lists as if it
actually means something useful.

I am a registrant for domains I register.
I am simultaneously a non registrant of a great many more domains that
support services I do not manage.

I am the same person. I am not schizophrenic.

As a registrant I have exactly the same interest in keeping my whois
registration record in working order because I want to know if there is
a problem and have a public point of contact for people to reach me. As
a user I want to be able to reach the domain administrator so I can
report problems and cross reference registration data.

There is no significant difference of interest here.

This means the problems that the registrar policies are trying to
resolve are in fact not with registrants nor with users or a split
between their interests but down to how the DNS registration services
are being administered and regulated and the interests of that supply /
regulatory chain.
