Hi,
The TLD pricing has always been increasing no matter what contract ICANN-Verisign has. Now, making ICANN a promise of $20 million dollars implies an extra cost will be levied to the end users. This is against the Free Internet policy and should be stopped.
Further, the entire contract along with a summarized version should be released to the public in order to understand why does ICANN a non-profit organization requires $20 million?
Thanks!
Jack
