What are "new services"? The Waiting List Service (or whatever it is
called now) of Verisign certainly was. Why do we not start from
evaluating the way that was dealt with by ICANN?

I am not looking for a definition of "new services". But some more
examples. Are there that many we can think of? Are there that many the
registries can think of? Is the level where new services are supposed
to be offered the registRAR level?
