RE: [registrars] ICANN Proposed budget is out for public comment

When we reach 38 Registrars left, each Registrar will pay $100K per year,
ironically the same fee as running a Registry.

I would agree, registries should pay based on how many domains they have,
rather then a flat Registry fee. If I can pay $100K for a Registry, where do
I sign up?

I would much rather myself vote for a $0.49 flat fee per domain year than
vote for a model where smaller Registrars are bearing a higher cost than the
larger ones. Offcourse id even much rather see a portion of that $0.49 come
out of Registries who are already making fixed margins.
