Re: [ga] Tiered (Variable) Pricing

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael and all,

Michael: I recognize your contractual changes are a step in a
positive direction.  I am sure Danny does as well.  But your
proposed contractual changes don't go far enough, ergo do not
cover all the bases as I briefly outlined in my previous remarks
on this thread.  One other concern/base not covered in  your
proposed contractual changes is how are NEW registrants
protected from price gouging in a variable price market model?
I take it they are not.  So are you implying in your proposed
contractual changes, let the registrant/buyer beware?  And if
so, how does such an implication fit into a healthy free market
in this space?
