I think I asked Milton, not Michael :)

But then, again, even if what you say is correct (and I don't say it 
is), that does not respond to the fact on what grounds someone would 
say that "running registries is not difficult". I have some 
experience of running companies, and dare to say that it's not an 
easy job. As for Viittorio's comments - he actually made a good point 
- this kind of work is already being done, so that's not an argument 
for the registries, but rather an argument that anyone can do 
whatever they want today, even without new TLDs.
And here's another question: if running registries is easy, and 
people get "local" domains, what happens when the registry goes out 
of business, or the person who is running it decides to move in 
another city, or country, or stops working on computers? What will 
the users do with all the e-mails they are getting at their "local" domain.
