[ga] $0.25 tax paid to ICANN

["Prophet Partners Inc." <Domains@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeff,

The bottom line is registrants are paying a $0.25 tax to ICANN through each
of their own registrars, which act as ICANN's tax collectors. If this is to
continue, registrants should be given the right to elect representatives to
the ICANN BoD based on the size of their domain holdings. Without such
representation, there cannot be a bottom-up consensus at ICANN.

Sincerely,
Ted
