>what is the safest registrar? Nominet (.uk) Whilst not entirely without controversy[1], they do allow any man or his dog to become a member[2], you only need to have "an interest in the operation of the .UK domain".

The alternative (as others have already pointed out) is to write out a (very big) cheque to ICANN and setup your own TLD where you are the registrar.
