As such I am not convinced that point 3 is required... I strongly disagree. The notification is needed to protect and inform registrants. Registrants are _not_ better off if their registration process takes 20 seconds less time but they are completely unaware of what happens to their private data. >- Is the second placement of 'registrar' supposed to read 'registrant'?

This adds a half minute at most of process to the registration, but nothing else. But the real issue is, it's worth it.
