Variable registration fees? This will certainly bring unwanted scutiny and 
negative reaction towards overseeing bodies and registrars. 

The registrars role is to organize the registration of names, and coordinate 
the propogation of traffic through DNS. Allowing profit exploitation by 
registrars puts them in an adversarial position with the registrants. This will 
lead to many serious problems, undermining the integrity and security of the 
domain name system. 

In addition, it certainly adds the prospect of expensive legal conflicts 
between ICAAN, registars, and registrants. 

This will be a problematic policy, leading to a serious disruption of web-based 
commerce. It should be immediately reconsidered.
