I'd prefer a publically funded AUNIC after all .. who exactly is .au for?
Does it belong to the country, the government and it's population or to
auDA? Sure .. they have the responsibility of driving .au, someone has too

So ... if it's circa $100K to provide this service, how much of a fee from
every hosted domain would it take to fund this service from yearly domain
renewals/registrations? Probably another dumb idea of mine.

sensitive and petty issue.  I guess my actions are simply effects from the
cause.
