[registrars] Pay for use

One item I have not seen discussed is that the registrars are singled 
out as the only constituency that "pays for use" in the new icann budget.

In a fair ICANN wouldn't everyone pay the same portion?

Apparently only registrars use icann and we are paying all other 
constituency and Support Organizations way.

Its time we start making ICANNs budget instead of ICANN making it for 
us. Each of the 3 Support Organizations should pay 1/3 of ICANN's 
budget  instead of one constituency of one Support Organization funding 
70% of ICANN's fees; In whose mind is this fair?

Finally, if  the "pay for use" banner is required it must be fair.

ps I'd prefer a flat tax on all identifiers that ICANN manages, it will 
bring the tea party to Marina del Rey much faster.
