Namecheap reports: "ICANN’s current contract with Public Interest Registry (PIR), the group that runs the .org domain name, allows PIR to increase the wholesale price of .org domains by 10% a year. Now ICANN is proposing extending the contract to operate .org but letting PIR set whatever prices it wants. Rather than a 10% increase to renew your domain next year, PIR could suddenly start charging registrars like Namecheap 100 times as much. In turn, registrars would have no choice but to pass these charges on to customers. Similar contract proposals may also impact .info and .biz prices." *Is this correct? 10% is already (too) generous for a monopoly--how can ICANN even consider completely deregulating price increases?* utf8=✓ authenticity_token=NdsY4QpbQyMSCmjyPff1CNeq2XEGhWdn/PVfLEDHOJ77GtiUEyFgg4O1Y2QOhVKAwUkVXtw2h98aAnyj8P+w1w== terms_of_services=yes commit=Continue
