> .	Increases in the price VeriSign charges registrars for

> .	The combination of registrar and registry fees that

> and discussion of a reduced fee level for registrars that can 
> be approved in a timely manner. 
> .	The manner in which fees are potentially passed from registry to

> registrant invoice. 
> .	Description of long-term ICANN revenue goals that are a 
> prerequisite
> to achieving the goals set out in the USG MoU and gaining
