I will never support a registry and depend on it for blocking or
accepting emails that is based on only one organization/company. And the
same holds for a registry that is based on companies from only one country.
If the chief of government of this country declares that all messages from
another country or comapny are a "seed of the evil" he will force the
company to delist their mailservers.
However there are things about which I like/trust my opinions more than
those of others. And I don't think I am the only one.

P.S. There is no USA bashing intended with this post. I do think there
are at least some dozen other countries where this could happen
in total analogy and I fear Germany would be one of them: a local
government forces ISPs to deny access to webpages that deny
what happend during WWII (which is forbidden by law in Germany).
