No variable pricing!!
The proposed changes to registry agreements contain a variable pricing structure, increasing modestly per year from 2007 through 2012. In addition, there is no maximum on registration fees and renewals. Domain registration is monopolistic - if you want .biz, .org or .info, you have no choice - you ultimately go to ICANN to register your domain. Coupled with variable pricing as proposed, this raises the spectre of arbitrarily high renewals, with no third-party governance. And that's simply unacceptable. I'd feel much better with maximum fee guidelines, along with fees tied to some defined, measurable figure - not a nebulous "success or decline of the registry business." Arbitrary variable pricing is unacceptable.
