Basically, if they come to common standards, then there's no need to intervene 8-)

As we currently delegate domains from more than one country, some, ahem, standardisation might be useful. Currently, it's a mess with different rules, templates etc for each country with respect to almost everything.

I'm not sure whether this deviation from common ground is obvious to the TLDs themselves, as they normally only deal with their own TLD 8-)

We know quite well what's happening outside our territory, don't be afraid ;-).

Marcel, "outside our territory" indicates a perspective which is quite natural for a registry. Kurt's perspective is different, and one which I believe we registry people (although we understand it in principle) may not be sufficiently aware of. He is a customer of (or has to deal with) several registries. Maybe we can learn something useful from listening to how others see us. Kurt, would you like to say more ... ?
