That domain name registrants are a distinct class of people (to a degree an overlapping class) with internet users and that thus one must not let the former "stakeholders'" interests replace the latter "stakeholders'" interests.

If we are worried about scammers (and I count myself among those who are concerned) who use and then abandon names rapidly and bear little cost for doing so, let me suggest that we begin with an easier proposition: Change the five minute name server update time that came into existence under ICANN to something more like the prior 24 hours, or something in the middle, like 6 hours. I've long said that the atomic unit of interest is the individual human being. By allowing only individual humans to be recognized, or rather, to be counted, when measuring a proposal we push the resolution of conflicts into each person as he/she resolves his/her own various interests.
