[registrars] ICANN Proposed budget is out for public comment

[Jean-Michel Becar]

Some thoughts/comments about the proposed budget:

- When I finished to read the doucument I just realized that almost 
anywhere nobody was talking about the registries.....but almost only how 
registrars/registrants will be charged :-(
- Where are the registries in that budget??? Are we the only one to 
benefit from ICANN and do to be charged for it.....

- When I read "Therefore, nearly $2M (over $0.06 per transactions) of 
the budget increase is attributable to increased litigation 
activity".....that give me the feeling thst only the registrars will pay 
for all the law suits ICANN is facing....why the registries and all 
others don't participate?

- When you read the REVENUE Planning section there is again no mention 
of the registries???

- So registrars are for $13.2M and regisries for $1.5M...okay let's say 
there are less registries than registrars but I think they can 
contribute a little bit more espacially when I see the difference 
between .com and .info,..they pay the same amount that doesn't make 
sense ......... but from here it will be a thread for the registry 
constituency ;-)
