     You might have to have paid at least once, for something... maybe 
another doamin.   The issue you raised concerned identify fraud.   If you 
have registered a domain before, and a financial transaction can confirm 
your billing address and name, then the identify fraud issue can be addressed.

     Or, some other method could be used to verify the whois data.  My point 
is that one can make it difficult to pretend to be 1,000 persons, and also 
make it completely unimportant to be first for expired domains.

PS, as a member of the NCC Adcom, find out what I have to do to make an 
official NCC position, since I"m on the TF, and I keep being asked if it is 
offical NCC position.
