While it is clear that part of the problem is the low cost of entry
for access via some bargain basement registrars, <br>
I fear that any attempt at a "price floor" would be viewed as
"price fixing" and would run afoul of a lot of national laws. <br>

If we mandate price floors, then the rate of domains
registered solely for exploitative purposes drops like a
rock, and our need for ownership info is much less, and few
would be pushing youall to collect the info, and the abuse
issue becomes almost an entirely moot point. </font></div>
