I have a concern about the apparent circularity of the registrar
definition. One thing should be born in mind -- there is a
"membership" committee that ajudicates these matters, so there is
some human judgement involved.
Incidentally, the current order of the category list is
alphabetical. That is because of a comment by business interests
-- they were wondering if there was some sort of representational
priority implied by list order, and said that if not the list should
be alphabetical. While I think the point is not consequential, I am
more than willing to concede it -- if only disagreements were so
minor :-)

Proposals should be sent to proposals@dnso.org.
