One idea I‘ve been toying with is to set up a non-profit registrar funded by donations. It would just pass through the registration fees from the registries without markup. Similar to Let‘s Encrypt but for domains. Of course it would be more complicated because the entity would handle money, but nothing that couldn‘t be solved from what I can see.

Does anyone with experience in the field have any insights on what roadblocks would be encountered?
