Subject: Re: EPP and # of nameservers

EPP does not impose a 2 name server limit (i.e., does not enforce a 2 
name server minimum).

Such a limit is a registry-specific policy decision.  EPP is designed 
to be policy neutral.  I.e., a registrar can send an EPP schema with 
just one name server in a request and the registry has the option to 
deny the request.  This option is taken at a layer above the EPP 
protocol.  The only diffence to EPP is whether the registrar returns 
an 'ack' or 'nack' to the request.
