Re: [registrars] Statement regarding .net

The changes to the .net agreement that specifically concern registrars
are:
- the maximum price ($4.25 including the ICANN registry fee) put forward
by Verisign in the .net application only applies for the first 18 months
of the new agreement. After that Verisign is free is set any price.
Registrars want the maximum price fixed for the duration of the
agreement.
- Verisign is excluded from new consensus policies that relate to the
introduction of new registry services other than what is in the new .net
agreement. Registrars want Verisign to continue to be subject to
consensus policies in this area.
- ICANN may not change the above terms in a renewal of the agreement.
Registrars want ICANN to have the ability to negotiate a lower maximum
price at the time of contract renewal."
Bruce,
good summary!
Should we also add that it is against the competition idea that the
contract will be automaticly extended after 6 years? There should be an
RFP again. Otherwise it is a similar blank check as it is without a price
cap.
