Naturally you took this on on a purely voluntary base (nobody
forced you to do it). I would consider it to be very improper 
to start charging "users" without a clear consenus in your 
country on how the various registration issues etc. should be 
handled and if they want your organisation to continue with
this role in the first place.

The current German solution seems to be very good and would seem 
to avoid the obvious conflict of interest issues that immediately
arise if non-neutral organisations provide these services.
