Agreed as well here with William assertion predicated on the shear volume
of registrations within a specific TLD name space and it's correlation to
cost that will be passed onto the registrant (Eventually if not initially). But
it is reasonable to assume that unless you know who and how TLD charters
are going to be enforced, this is rather unimportant. In other words,
WHO determines what the requirements ar to be as a part of any
TLD charter? And. How are these requirements to be enforced globally?
This I would think would require a fairly large infrastructure of investigators
of some sort, in order to insure that charters are being adhered to, depending
on what those charters require.
