Now that I think about this more, I think I had the 'cataloging
subscription' only requirement in my head as that is what you need to
REGISTER commitments. It does seem problematic that you need a discovery
subscription to FIND the items you registered. To quote Susan's take
on the OCLC
motto
<https://www.oclc.org/en/about.html#:~:text=Because%20what%20is%20known%20must%20be%20shared%C2%AE.>
"what is shared must be known"!
