You raise a very valid point here.  One hand washes the other, no doubt about it.  Vendors need customers and vice versa.  

Now, if anybody's been pushed to pay for the circus as it's been produced to-date, it's the ccTLDs, and I am in complete sympathy with their position in 
this regard.  Each of them has their own governmnet structures and strictures to deal with... everybody's asking them to produce money from all sides. So, 
I'm proposing that just *before* the TM constituency *is* dissolved, it should be billed for time `served'.  After all, just think of how much crap the registries 
and ccTLD registrars had to put up with from the ONE constituency that did the most talking till now, and never reached into its own pocket (not publicly 
anyway) to pay its way!
