Re: [ga] ICANN has posted the proposed Budget for the FY 2005 -2006

It's interesting that about half of ICANN's total projected income is
intended to come from the Transaction Based Registrar Fee (in other words,
paid to ICANN by Registrants when they acquire a domain name) and yet
nowhere in ICANN's structure do I find an equivalent representation of the
Registrant constituency, or indeed even the existence of a Registrant's
constituency.

Registrants in the coming year are estimated to be paying ICANN (through
their Transactions with Registrars) $11,788,252 of ICANN's total projected
income of $23,453,760.

That is a lot of taxation for zero representation.

Yrs,

Richard H
