  6. Some Important Lessons Evolution to professional management: Some can do it, some can’t -Continuous strategic planning; constantly questioning how to do things better -Close coordination of efforts between technical staff, and financial and business operations -One weak link can be the downfall of the entire organization. Very little room for error. Capital Reserves are KING – Estimate Needed Cash Reserves Then x2 Ensuring 100% availability, maintaining response times measured in fractions of milliseconds, ensuring capacity to handle DoS attacks and other events that burden the infrastructure, providing highest security possible in capacity, evolution with technological developments all require capital. Customers, end users, governments and others in the internet community expect the same performance of a registry with millions of registrations as one with thousands. IPv6, Real-time zone file updates, personalized attention and trouble-shooting, etc. Expect you to have it all, and the resources to make it happen regardless of strain caused by growth
