<div>I have a hard time picturing a process that will work and be fair to
all registrants and registrars. If ICANN auctions these, will the
proceeds reduce, or potentially eliminate, some of the registrar and
registry fees for a period of time? Do we really want to skew off onto
this issue, which will get very heated and complicated, given the other
things on our plate?</div>

&lt;registrars@xxxxxxxx&gt;<BR><BR>Hello Margie,<BR><BR>&gt; This
<BR>&gt; could be addressed though a number of means, such as <BR>&gt;
auctions, or higher fees. &nbsp; Obviously the interest in these
<BR>&gt; names would drop as the price increases. &nbsp;<BR>&gt;
<BR><BR>Actually the "interest" will probably rise as the price
increases, but<BR>the number of buyers that can afford them may
decrease :-)<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Bruce </BLOCKQUOTE>
