So who is going to pay for it?

Until you can answer the key question about who is going to pay for it then it 
is going to be necessary

Just because it's technically "possible" doesn't render it viable and the email 
exchange clearly supports the view that we have all been promoting for months. 
It makes MORE sense for the registrant to simply renew the domain name in a 
timely fashion.

Also your suggestion in this email exchange suggests that ICANN would somehow 
want to get involved with an "icann owned or icann-assigned server" (sic) is 
disturbing.
Do you even understand what ICANN's role is in all this?
