You are technically a reseller. In order to be a "Registrar" you would have
to apply directly to ICANN. This concept isn't that much different from the
ISP model. Most ISP's are backbone providers yet they connect up to
backbones and then sell to others and have resellers under them selling
connectivity from that backbone.
