Larry,
I am not advocating that all of the funding come per a per transaction.
I am advocating:
1) See if DOC really needs all these things done on the schedule that is laid out in the MOU that was "just signed" 2) Analyze and reduce expenses possibly by outsourcing. 3) Find some reasonable combination of fixed and variable fees.
Ok, Now that you make this clear, I agree, and can support your position.
I still don't see that. If your costs go up on a per transaction basis and your competitors costs go up how will that cripple you?
I am sorry but I do not think it is a good idea for me to post an answer to this in here, but we can discuss it privately.
Can you give an exact example of some of these customers that would stop registering names if the variable cost increased?
The famous "free domain" with purchase... At least for a while.
