Why is Registry Named NSIRegistry??

[rb1000@ix.netcom.com (Ron Bennett)]

Been wondering for awhile why is the gTLD (.COM, .NET, .ORG, & .EDU) registry 
called NSIRegistry?? Just the naming alone could be considered a conflict of 
interest. The central registry should be called something like CentralRegistry, 
or ICANNRegistry, or GTLDRegistry, or DNSRegistry, or something along those 
lines that's more generic. Perhaps it's just me, but having a company name in 
the name of the central registry is bad and should be changed.
