Hello Larry,
2) Self Policing. We should be exploring ways to lessen the administrative burden that ICANN has by assuming as many (or all) of the enforcement issues as a group, so that ICANN doesn't have to increase fees to do the same thing that we can probably do for less money. I think that an organization setup and funded by registrars can take care of the issues for 25% of what it would cost for ICANN to do the same. I would be willing to support such an organization.
This idea has appeal. I find it hard that every year we are asked to pay more for Compliance but I have never actually seen any compliance done. With respect to policy development - most of this is done by those outside of the ICANN staff (ie the cost is not paid for by ICANN).
