I think that is a bad way to put it.
The important thing to note is that CORE isn't really a significant
organization. A normal "nonprofit" monopoly registry would deal with
users, set prices, etc., etc. CORE does none of these things. All it
does in life is operate a database server.
People have to have it driven home to them that CORE sets no policies,
sets no prices, and indeed does nothing but operate a couple of ORACLE
servers for a living. It is very limited in how much it can impact the
market.
