This idea was actually suggested and bandied about at one of the
formative meetings in 1998. The idea was that ICANN would take $1 of
the registration fee and provide, in return, membership in ICANN and
an info packet to each domain name registrant. Not a bad idea at
all, except that the Board's real interest was in the $1/registrant
and, when that was quashed by Congress, they gave up the membership
part as being a negative with no gain for them.
