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.
