One thing I do believe is that given this latitude, the future in terms of pricing is uncertain

I think we all agree on this. I find it marvelous that ICANN devotes several pages to clearly outlining how much money they will receive from the registries while leaving fundamental questions like this wide open. From a governance perspective, I hope that the board expects more from its staff than this. From a policy and operational perspective, its completely unacceptable no matter how you cut it. There needs to be more certainty for registrants in these contracts. Regards, -- -ross rader
