It's not (please re-read "approaching fairness").

It's not (please re-read "approaching fairness").

It's not (please re-read "approaching fairness")...

BTW, there *are* registrars that do not charge those fees.  Some only charge a registration fee if you get the name.  Your beef is with your registrar in this regard, not Afilias (see my other post in this thread).

Unbelievable - treating people like shit!

And you think that's fair?

No...but sorry, I don't believe the Domebase proposal is likely to fly, no matter how fair you might believe it to be.  I believe working towards an as-fair-as-possible land rush II is the best that can be hoped for at this time.
