<div>What I don't see is anything limiting the formation of a registry/registrar system, post-allocation services, etc, especially if done within the scope of a single region. While prop 136 doesn't directly call for the formation of a registrar system or
post-allocation services, I admit that it does imply the opportunity. However, there is no requirement that "replacement directory services" are provided by a third party - I imagine that the address holder can provide a directory service for themselves.</div>
