The transaction model is not yet in affect. The existing budget was extended. The Board did approve the new budget at the meeting in KL in July, but the affective date was left open so that ICANN could continue to work with Registrars to address concerns. I suspect we will be hearing an announcement within the next couple of weeks regarding the new budget taking affect.

Rick,
I agree with your conclusions. However I believe it will happen much sooner.
1) The 2005 budget went into effect on July 1, 2004. Your $0.25 per transaction invoice for last quarter should be arriving from ICANN this month.
ouch, does this mean we will see the 4K per quarter charge for batch pool registrars this quarter? Already, I'm not sure I want to pay my ICANN bill. -rick
