These are all great ideas, so long as OpenNIC doesn't become a hosting
provider.  IOW, these services shouldn't be associated directly with
OpenNIC (other than the fact that they are hosted on OpenNIC TLDs).
It's important to keep OpenNIC as is: a democratic and open
alternative to ICANN.  We shouldn't get into the hosting business.
