I sympathize with the registrars on this one. And I wonder to what extent ICANN really concern themselves with all of the varied contituent interests. They say they care and are addressing this, that, and the other. Yet, they steamroll forward with their own minority-led agenda willing to risk & offend the interests of the greater majority. That is ICANN. The conflict of interest issue you wrote about here is very tangible. Ultimately, ICANN have the incumbent task of navigating through to a solution that REALLY works. Not some smoke & mirrors manipulation of public perception. Many, many people and companies around the world are counting on (and expecting) ICANN to make very carefully thought out decisions. And I keep coming back to this -> ICANN are not a for profit corporation with stockholders. They do not exist to serve themselves, but to serve the greater good of the vast majority of internet stakeholders via honest, fair management of the DNS. I'm not seeing that and haven't for a long time. Example -> ICANN's failure to publicly commit to capped pricing (on existing tld's) is an irrefutable indication of guilty intentions. People need to wise up. This is a perfect illustration of how ICANN get lost in the complexity of their own making. I sympathize with the registrars on this one.

I’m not seeing that and haven’t for a long time. Example -> ICANN’s failure to publicly commit to capped pricing (on existing tld’s) is an irrefutable indication of guilty intentions. People need to wise up.
