There is a big difference between NEED based funding and a guaranteed revenue source. Work expands to fit the funds available. I'd rather a system where ICANN had to justify its claims for funds, rather then just get more because there are more registrations. Or, should it come to that, too little if there were too few.

If every portion of funding has to be approved and if the funding comes through registrars and registries (even though it, at least in part, comes from the registrants), you are giving a lot of power to registries and registrars. I understand ICANN's need for a stable source of revenue -- which of course has to be need based. But doing NPR pledge drives every year is simply not a solution.
