Re: [ga] Tiered (Variable) Pricing

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Danny, Michael and all,

  Michael: I have to agree with Danny here to a great degree.  However,
Registries/registrars also should not be restricted on Pricing of "new
domain name
registrations" long as there is no arbitrary restriction on the
introduction of new
TLD's and new registrars.  Business Plan "Sniping" by the GAC or the
ICANN
BoD, also not withstanding.  Free market enterprise must be allowed to
work
with minimal restriction via regulation.  Existing/already registered
domain names in any TLD namespace should not at time of renual,
have the registrant's domain name price hiked for any reason.  Such
would be a financial burden that is anti free market.
