DeNIC is a large enough player that it could change the game.  Perhaps  
that might do the trick.  Heck, I'd query their servers just because  
Marcos is such a nice guy. :)

As coincidence might have it, I was just forwarded a message about  
somebody proposing the use of IRIS for some NGN related purpose.

The IETF doesn't need working groups to progress standards.  Future  
registries could be moved through the IETF as individual submissions.   
LDAP is a fine example of that.
