> You suggested that the historical experience of the DNS registry was applicable, but I still have not seen an apples-to-apples comparison worthy of providing insights. For the DNS registry to inform us, we would have to compare an experience of  for-pay DNS registries *with a needs test* to for-pay DNS registries *without a needs test*.

That is available. The DNS administered for a fee by NSI retained the needs basis for several months and there was
no descent into chaos observed. The descent into madness occurred when WIPO got involved and the UDRP started
developing. It was about this time that the needs-basis aspect of DNS administration was also abandoned as part of
the efforts by WIPO to make domain names part of the trademark namespace(s).
