Margie and all sgb members,

  I see and agree with your and Ross's concern regarding costs to
be covered.
  Do you have a suggestion as to how such costs can be managed
and still provide for checks and balances so registrants and consumers
privacy is not abused or misused?

In my view, registrars should not be assuming any of these costs,
nor should consumers, and I see no need for them to do so as it
is not their interests which are being served here.  Rather third
party wanna be's and LEA's interests are the interests whom are
being more greatly served, ergo they should shoulder the bulk of
the costs in terms of fees for certification, ect. without the ability
to pass such costs on to consumers.  This will give these wanna be
third parties and incentive to behaive responsibly and give consumers
some level of peace of mind.
