The preface to the recently published ICANN registry accreditation
guidelines includes the following about money:
"NSI will be required to provide equal access to registry services through
the shared registration system to all accredited registrars (including
itself) at prices to be agreed upon by the U.S. Government and NSI under the
terms of the cooperative agreement."
"ICANN is seeking public comment on... a proposed fee structure based on an
initial accreditation fee and ongoing charges on registration volume."
Since all these fees and costs will be payed for by the users, an Internet
user and domain name holder who does not use the Internet for profit would
like to ask: Just how expensive are domain names going to become?
