What are some of the “ambiguities in complying with the rules”?

I agree that Registries and Registrars need to be able to recover the cost of administering the URS/UDRPs, as part of the filing fee.    

 

The costs that the Registries/Registrars bear actually goes beyond what Reg has said.  There are situations where we have to go to outside counsel or even ICANN to resolve ambiguities in complying with the rules.    Additionally, the 24 hour action requirement on locking a domain that has received a URS complaint actually increases the resources that have to be dedicated, beyond the actual number of minutes per complaint, because compliance personal has to allocate/reserve a certain time per day to perform the tasks, even if no complaint is received that day.

 

Just like the arbitration administrators charge a cost recovery fee for administration as part of the filing fee, it's just common since that the Registries/Registrars would too.
