Re: [ga] $0.25 tax paid to ICANN
The only route I can think of is registrants who are US Citizens
leaning on their elected representatives, to lean on Doc to lean on
ICANN.
The rest of us are screwed. We might be able to get hats and warm
fuzzies but that's all.

Professor Froomkin? Any lawyers on the list? If all registrants pay
this fee, then can't ICANN be forced to go with the elections they
have promised for the last 10 years?

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,

Chris and all,
Yes, however ICANN does not directly collect this fee.
