As perviously mentioned, would it help to get
as many people as possible together in person
(& teleconference) to really get rolling?

I vote for Washington, DC. ;-)

Others have used the terminology too.  (It is certainly what I am familiar
with, and I haven't been woking with ICANN.)  I would think that any
entity/agent that is entering data into a registry could be said to be
acting as a registrar, even if the entity isn't otherwise known as one.

Recall too that this protocol is designed for the case that the (entity
acting like a) registry and the (entity acting like a) registrar are
separated by a network.  If there is no separation, this protocol may not
apply to the situation.  There will be no mandate from the IETF that this
protocol be used in registration.  Such a mandate may come from a registrar
accrediting organization, but the IETF process can't be contingent on that.

I suspected as much, but I feel we need to get the IETF process moving
along.
