In fact Rich is correct within a government managed registry the C field is unique - therefore its not in the registry, its has a constant value for all registry records.
I'm still curiuos why a CA, being aware of a publicly accessible government managed registry, would ever use 'another registry' presumably with the same content.
Thanks,M.D.

If that's the ballot that folks would like to go forward with, then let's just find endorsers and vote. We can vote on flawed proposals - at least we know how people feel about those flaws, which is useful in itself.
