good idea but did YOU know that ICANN is actually a puppet for Network Solutions, Inc ? 70% shares is owned by NSI and 30% is owned by the US government

Currently to become an ICANN accredited registrar one has to pay:

   USD1000 application fee  ( RM 3800 )
   USD5000 accreditation fee ( RM 19000 )
   USD10000 license fee ( RM 38000 )
  
   On top of the above, registrars required to pay:
  
   USD6 per domain per year ( RM22.80 per domain per year )

   And these unscrulpulous registrars/bodies/registries never pass
   these savings to the end-user/consumer.

   Note: 1 US Dollar = RM 3.80
