One thing to remember is that there are only about 300 members on this list
who would be aware of the Registries if their only resource is the List.
And, most of them are lurkers. Last august I did a study and, in the entire
month, there were inputs from only 63 of the approximately 300 list members.
There are approximately 3,000 members of each of the National clubs, most of
whom are dual members thus only approximately 10% of the club members are
also list members. I actually counted them once -- remember, I have no life.
Perhaps the clubs could prominently display the name, address and email
address of the various registries in a PROMINENT article -- not as a filler
in an obscure page.
Both of the clubs have new editors so perhaps, this may be something for
which they can take the ball and and run with. Clichi number two, run it up
the flagpole and see who salutes. Clichi number three, I'll leave it to your
collective imaginations.

Mike,
This is good news as I imagine being a registrar is a bit of a PITA.
Perhaps with some revitalization from the clubs we can have a bit more
responsiveness and usefulness of the registries. I say this having sent
messages into the black hole errr registry and never received a response or
acknowledgement that I ever contacted them. So maybe my car is registered,
maybe not.
Cheer and wishes
Tracy

David and all--
I'm sure that none of those things are currently being done as they are
surely outside the scope of what registrars duties are.
However, some interesting developments are taking place within the
registries movement "as we speak" and the matters that you bring up are
worthy of consideration. In any case I believe that some important
announcements regarding the revitalization/reorganization of registries,
both on an individual and collective basis, will be forthcoming within the
next sixty to ninety days.
Best--Michael Oritt

I'm wondering if any of the US registries ever talk to each other, compare
notes, crunch numbers, draw any conclusions, or identify trends of any kind.
