Ross, I know you are not advocating ICANN mandating what prices
registrars or registries should charge for domain names.

No, at the highest level I'm saying that ICANN should properly regulate, enforce or get out of the way. I find it amazing that the constituency is even having conversations like this. Its not up to me to find ways to enforce the agreement anymore than it is up to you to find ways around it. ICANN's legacy will be the failure of its uneven regulatory philosophy. Some price controls, some competition, some compliance.
