nah, all you need is to enter the following line in your HOSTS file:

216.239.53.99 sitefinder.verisign.com

  That way you'll get google's error message and never have to see Verisign's shit again :-)

The financial backing is non-trivial. You're going to need some pretty
serious big iron, and some pretty bad-ass bandwidth.
  Non-profit doesn't necessarily mean doesn't make any money.  The registries are already paying to register domains in the first place.  I'm not opposed to some trivial per-domain fee to pay for the whole project.  Aside from self-funding though, think of how many registries are willing to kick serious money into a project that would remove Verisign as a monopoly over the space.  You can bet on BuyDomains.com and BulkRegister.com would get materially involved.

Oh.. and you'll need trusted and experienced people, and be willing to pay them.
  I didn't say it was something that could be done overnight =) If the community wanted to do this, you'd need to get people together and put together a business plan just like you would if you were starting a business - it's not just a big project, it's a HUGE project, and one that requires the utmost critical planning.  I don't think there'll be any shortage of trusted and experienced people though =).  

Don't like how a TLD is run? Talk to ICANN and the administrator of that TLD.
  If it's as simple as establishing a set of rules to govern all of the registries (or risk getting your TLD dropped - obviously an extremely serious consequence) I'm all for it as opposed to reorganizing.  Remember though, ICANN are the ones who approved a Waiting List service for Verisign.  It seems to me that they wouldn't be interested in enforcing some of these more serious issues.
