<p>Definitely not a wish to wish for. That said, ICANN at the moment may indeed be entering into some regulatory issues that may result to Paul's concern of jurisdiction in near future. An example is the requirement imposed by ICANN on .doctor(based on GAC's
advice). While this is not about pricing; censoring who gets a domain by professional qualification will sure create some variation globally.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Although I should note that I think a WG may be looking at this (policy-implementation WG), whether it's something to be considered by the ccwg especially towards ensuring board doesn't act on a unilateral decision of a section of the community without consultation.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif" lang="EN-US">As you may know, ICANN recently created the new gTLD .sucks. It appears that the new registry manager, Vox Populi, is charging a rather exorbitant fee of $2500/year
for existing trademarks to purchase the relevant domain name in the pre-release Sunrise period. Some have protested to ICANN about this. ICANN’s response is interesting and may have relevance to our accountability discussion. It seems (<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2015/04/09/the-group-that-created-sucks-now-wants-government-to-keep-it-from-spinning-out-of-control/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#954f72">http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2015/04/09/the-group-that-created-sucks-now-wants-government-to-keep-it-from-spinning-out-of-control/</span></a>)
that ICANN has asked the regulatory authorities in the US and Canada to determine whether or not Vox Populi’s pricing is predatory under US and Canadian law (and thus illegal).<u></u><u></u></span></p>

are the law specified by the underlying contracts. But it does suggest that, in the absence of regulatory authority for ICANN (which I assume we all will continue to wish for) national laws will continue to play a role. I am not in the least bit sure how
this plays into our discussions – but it certainly seems a relevant confounding factor we ought to be aware of<u></u><u></u></span></p>
