Give unilateral power to control entry and service offerings to staff or SECSAC? Who on the staff or SECSAC has any regulatory expertise? What criteria do they use? What makes them accountable for bad decisions? What is the procedure for appointing people to SECSAC?
Techies tend to have really simple-minded notions of the interaction between law, economics and technology. Try having a conversation with Paul Vixie about competing roots sometime and you'll see what I mean.

These are all good objections against my specific example.
So, who should make judgments about new registry services?
Verisign, in particular, is in a situation in which it can use registry services to leverage its government-granted monopoly into other markets; in the sitefinder case, it's also creating collateral damage on the technical and stability fronts.
I guess it's clear that decisions on introducing new registry services should better not be left to dominant registries, in particular in the current market situation.
