Re: [bc-gnso] Draft BC position Regsitry Registrar Separation

[George Kirikos <icann@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

If we're going to take on this subject, when there is no GNSO comment
period, then I think we should also take on the subject of price caps
at the same time, given that has a far more direct impact on
registrants in the marketplace. Furthermore, we should also note that
ICANN has not completed the economic studies that were required.

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
