But it would be a permanent drop, not a single-year event. -------------------------------------------------- From: "John R.

I'm concerned about the very specific influence this creates if a registrar decides to drop all of their extra accreditations at once, pulling up to 4% ICANN's budget out from under the organization.
Given ICANN's large reserve account (if they haven't speculated it all away with bad investments) and the generally increasing income from everything else, I wouldn't worry too much about a 4% one time drop.
