Ask the people who did the state by state DNS stuff under .us what their 
successes and problems were before you wish that on an IP registry. I don't 
think the state zone management would be considered an unqualified success by 
anyone. I know Bill Manning has some strong opinions born out of running .us.

I think is is fair to say that getting people who know how to do the job is 
more important than the number of registries. How would you grade people's 
ability to run a registry to qualify them?
