Definitely not the Registrars. It it takes it will take shape as a service
for which the Registrants will pay or it will be a service offered on a
neo-Interent-business model by a company such as Google or MSN or it will be
an ICANN supported service by a third party.

I agree that it makes more sense for Registrants to renew their domain names
in time. But I am concerned about those Registrants (even if they are a
smaller proportion) whose domain names expire unnoticed.

What is wrong if I want ICANN to get involved in an ICANN owned or
icann-assigned server? It is not disproportionately expensive and it is a
direct service to domain Registrants about whom ICANN is supposed to care !
