So would an effective market &  "branding"  program along with professional
outreach from  the new registry mgt. entity by "knowledgeable" registrar
support staff.

I believe you would find this a far more "effective approach"  and would be
perceived as supportive and not "punitive" by the Registrars

 Ken:
 I don't see how a registrar's customer relations would
 be harmed if all registrars had to do the same thing.

 But from the customer standpoint, I agree that such
 a policy could disrupt their expectations and lead to
 some consternation. Of course, in some ways that's
 exactly what we would want it to do: instead of
 ASSUMING that they had to treat all TLDs as the same,
 price discrimination would make them think twice.
