How about *no* fee increase.  Is no fee increase good for you?  Hey, let's 
go further... How about a fee **decrease** ?!?!  Owwww.... A decrease...

Is there some rule somewhere that ICANN should get an increase every time? 
No.  Do I want to give them more of my money to beat up on me?  No.  Has 
ICANN shown that they listen to the concerns of registrars?  No.  Do we 
want to give ICANN our money to use to pay their lawyers when we sue them 
because they ignore their own procedures?  No.  Do we want more unfunded 
mandates from ICANN?  No.  Need I go on???  No.
