jeff neuman has sent me an interesting comparison of the orignal draft and
the new one signed. as you can see in the attachment- the pricing cap is not
the only thing that has changed. check some of the changes - specifically
the below para that has been inserted - which specifically undermines the
entire GNSO process of coming up with consensus policies -
 
(v) In addition to the other limitations on Consensus Policies, they shall

not:

(A) prescribe or limit the price of Registry Services;

(B) modify the standards for the consideration of proposed

Registry Services, including the definitions of Security and Stability

(set forth below) and the standards applied by ICANN;

(C) for three years following the Effective Date, modify the

procedure for the consideration of proposed Registry Services;

(D) modify the terms or conditions for the renewal or termination

of this Agreement;

(E) modify ICANN's obligations to Registry Operator under

Section 3.2 (a), (b), and (c);

(F) modify the limitations on Consensus Policies or Temporary

Specifications or Policies;

(G) modify the definition of Registry Services;

(H) modify the terms of Sections 7.2 and 7.3, below; and

(I) alter services that have been implemented pursuant to

Section 3.1(d) of this Agreement (unless justified by compelling and

just cause based on Security and Stability).

Bhavin,

 

Thought you may want to post this.  It is a comparison of the March .net
draft to the new agreement.  Aside from price are the restrictions on the
GNSO Council's power over determining the process for registry services..

 

I also filed a personal (not company) comment on Bret's blog that may be of
interest on the motivation behind the VeriSign clause.  It can be found at
