Price caps and the danger of tiered pricing

[Tee <devnossa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Why has ICANN not included price caps in the latest version (and all others) 
 of it's new tld guidebook?  This is necessary to protect registrants from the 
danger of .tv-style tiered pricing. If price caps are not imposed, what is to 
stop registries/registrars from pricing high value generic keywords differently 
than relatively non value keywords and names? What is to prevent the registries 
behind .info and .biz from doing the same? And ultimately the .com, .net and 
org registries? Businesses that paid 7.95 for their domain could find the 
registration fee go up to millions of dollars per year. Owners of generic .com 
domains may find their registration fee of 7.95 shoot up to thousands or 100's 
of thousands or even more. This could destroy many businesses at a time of 
great economic fragility.
 
Why has ICANN consistently ignored this obvious important issue that the 
internet community, save for apparently ICANN itself and a few registries, has 
completely opposed?
