And how much are you willing to pay for a domain?

I don't disagree with any of this. In  fact, this could be a very
powerful economic boycott which is why I thought about it. I am only
pointing our the administrative difficulties. 

How would you suggest the query mechanism works? I Most whois servers
impose some sort of volume limitation; Many are extremely slow.

Therefor, this probably warrants a RHSBL with the registrar in the
text record. In turn, that requires getting a listing of all domains
registered by a listed registrar.

How do you keep up with transfers?

If someone can figure out the  mechanics, I have a volunteer (working
on her MBA) who is great at crafting policy. I also have the mirrors
and structure. I am willing to add the zone. My first listing would
be Gandi.
