I picked on example, there have been plenty of examples in the past of folks just barely able to come up with 7$/yr for domain registration and using donated hosting for their non-profit thing.
It's a shame, they can probably find other benefactors. I doubt there are many cases though so is the benefit to those few worth the cost to the masses?
there is consumer protection today in the purchase system, do we want to remove that in the future. Or do we want to find another method to crack down on this problem without hurting consumers?
I've not noticed any registrars offering to refund Still, plenty of smart people are controlling this so either it's a terribly hard problem or they feel it's better this way. I'm sure they could come up with a compromise such as registrars only get the refund if they do less than x% per month, the genuine refunds are likely to fit within a small x that makes the tasting not worthwhile. brandon
