[CPWG] [GTLD-WG] Fwd: FW: Draft Comment on RA Renewals

Sat Apr 27 06:34:20 UTC 2019

I am reading powerful arguments on both sides of this issue and then 
reading Greg's proposed comment again. In the particular case of .org, 
and should we decide to go in the direction that Greg has mapped, would 
it be possible to beef up the last line. It seems like a throw away but 
it could be a good bridge between the opposing points of view. The 
comment asks that ICANN "monitor" future price increases and any market 
responses to those increases. What should ICANN do if it decides the 
increases are unwarranted?

@Christopher -- eh bien, le poisson est encore vivant !!
