   For closed TLDs (brand or generic), why would they need EPP if they themselves
plan to run their own registrars?

   I see no logic why a dotBrand, say .IBM, would need to go through an outside
registrar for the company to register domains for its own use.

   For closed generics, if one agrees with the premise that registration is 
restricted to those approved by the registry, why would the registry
need an external registrar at all?
