If you are realistic New.net is the only player outside of ICANN who could challenge them.

--> I can fully understand that.
Btw. if you would run only one windows pc you could download the NameSlinger plug-in here: http://www.nameslinger.com/dnsupgrade.html. But I think you would rather download it from pacificroot: http://www.pacificroot.com/updatedns.shtml 
It's the same plug-in.
