In my role as Council Chair, I just received the following notice: VeriSign, Inc. hereby notifies ICANN and all ICANN-accredited registrars of .com and .net domain names that effective July 1, 2010: 1. VeriSign's fee for each annual increment of a new and renewal .com domain name registration and for each transfer of a .com domain name registration from one ICANN-accredited registrar to another will be $7.34, exclusive of any ICANN Variable Registry-Level Fee (as defined in the .com Registry Agreement) or any other ICANN fee; and 2. VeriSign's fee for each annual increment of a new and renewal .net domain name registration and for each transfer of a .net domain name registration from one ICANN-accredited registrar to another will be $4.65, exclusive of any ICANN Variable Registry-Level Fee (as defined in the .net Registry Agreement) or any other ICANN fee. Except for the above-described fee changes, all other terms of the relevant registry and registry-registrar agreements remain unchanged. Chuck
