The most general advice for COM and NET is: 1. determine the parent domain of the host 2. determine which registrar is sponsoring the parent domain (whois.crsnic.net) 3. do whatever registrar-specific thing is required to update the host record. 4. wait until the host record appears in the registry (and in the COM or NET zones, if it results in glue records). 5. cheer enthusiastically. I haven't used NSI for a long time, so I can't comment on your NSI-specific advice. It had a general tone of anger and frustration though, which makes me think it is quite possibly accurate. The absolutely general advice, for all registries, is: 1. determine whether the registry in question even includes the concept of host objects 2a. if it doesn't, stop and scratch your head, but resist the temptation to post to NANOG 2b. if it does, do something registry-specific.
