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.

I am quite certain of this. Infact I would very much be in favour of this too. However this is wishful thinking since it is not about to happen.

I don't agree. It is not impossible. And if ICANN claims they need more money to handle registrar compliance why would they not consider doing it this way other than other ulterior motives?

Nevertheless I cannot for the life of me figure out how did ICANN spend $19000 on me last year or will spend $19000 on me this year. There is no way that I have had as much communication with them to make them spend that kind of money on me annually

They are not asking for the money based upon what they have historically done. They are asking for the money based on what they say they need to do going forward. Larry Erlich
