My fear is that if the issue of registry fees is not dealt with as part of the transition, the risk of fees being raised after transition will be much higher.

Hi,

As part of the ICANN Budget cycle process?

Not a process I take part in, but one that I assume deals with issues such as how ICANN income and outgo are allocated.  Seems like a really good exercise that I would watch with interest.  I just do not see this topic as part of the IANA Stewardship Transition process, which should be satisfied with a commitment  that ICANN will pay IANA's way as needed and negotiated through transitions and beyond.  It is the price of ICANN holding stewardship.  As between parent and ward.

The CCWG is working on the mechanisms needed to deal with ICANN budget issues going forward, these ICANN budget allocation issues do not need to lumped in with the transition itself.
