<div>Agree with Volker. </div>

</div>
<div>This TLD has attracted quite a bit of (negative, and perhaps deservedly so) attention recently, but I am confused by this letter. The window to take action was likely prior to delegation. Once the TLD is delegated and the contract is signed, I don’t
see ICANN Staff having the authority to do anything to “halt” the launch. Probably why they didn’t….</div>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">Interesting business model, but not really an issue for the GNSO, unless someone is proposing to take this as a basis for new policy development.
<br>
As an observer with no skin in this game, this looks to be an issue for compliance to determine if the model violates the policies and/or contracts or not and if it does, to take action accordingly.
<br>
<br>
For the interesting question of the different fee structure, there seems to be an explanation already:<br>
