In the ARIN region, TLD Registry Operators can get a block under the
Critical Infra definition.  We can debate wether or not they are indeed
"critical"  I would tend to want to leave them out of this policy.

Most TLD registry operators employ a back-end Registry Operator (Verisign,
afilias, Neustar, etc).  Do we want these entities to be using AfriNIC IP
space if they aren't using them in Africa?

Registries yes, Registrars, no (unless a Registry also runs a Registrar,
which is now allowed).

see above.

I would exclude them from this proposal.
