This is why the one non-negotiable aspect of a system where we do introduce paid domains, if it came to pass, would HAVE to require compensation for the DNS operators whom wished compensated.  To me it's non-negotiable if we do have paid domains that the people providing their infrastructure are compensated if they wish to be.

From a practical point of view, however, there is the aspect that in doing this (if we did), were are complicating a previously-gratis system that has worked just fine for a long period of time.  So its not hard to understand why some people do have objections to it.

I would tend to agree with you. I'm not sure, however,
that the people who are proposing to charge for domains
are clear on the fact that they are completely
dependent on the hard work and expense offered by
others who are doing it for free. How do these people
feel about others collecting money based on their work?
In a sense, charging for domains is taking a gift that
has been freely given to you and then turning around
and selling it.

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with this,
but rather just trying to put this discussion in
some perspective.

To me everybody's work has value. But that one group
gets money and other groups don't would not sit well
with me.
