I agree.

   I agree that registration would incur fees. However, I don't agree that
the registration would need to be done through accredited registrars.
For a closed registry, say to be used exclusively by a company,
it wouldn't make sense for the company to go through an external registrar.

   Let us take the example of .google and Google wants
to register the domain hq.google for the infrastructure
in their headquarters.  Why would they have to go through
an external registrar to register that domain?
After all, the domain is restricted and it is
the company who gets to decide who/what domains get
registered. Using external registrars would just
be a burden on the company and on how the company uses
its domain.
