Hi Robert,
David's question had echoes of concerns which touched all of us.
The domains are undoubtedly paid for till certain dates and hence shall
remain as registered, till those dates, in the root registry or till the
meteor strike. The probability of which must have been dealt with by having
the same information in different sites (hopefully!)
The question really is who would take over the registry administration of
the domains and what would be our status in such an eventuality, how would
the domains be accessed for management, renewals etc.etc.
We all have a lot riding on this, not to mention clients whose entire
businesses are riding on single domain registrations. For example what would
happen in the case of your hypothetical meteor strike on OpenSRS with a
clients domain up for renewal in 3 days, imagine a portal conducting vast
business who needs imminent renewal.
In a sense, like the Registrant can bypass the RSP to reach Tucows or
OpenSRS directly for redressal in emergencies; who can the RSP reach if you
have to be bypassed.
I may not have put the thought down correctly, but if understood, the
question needs to be addressed.

Nothing would happen to your domains. Even if OpenSRS was hit by meteor,
they're
in the root registry and will stay there until the registration runs out.
Our until the root server gets hit by a meteor...
