Subject: ICANN Incentive For MORE gTLD's

Message:
 

        Hello ICANN and Forum Readers,

If ICANN generates $500 more revenue annually per registrar for each new gTLD approved in the future, this will be incentive for the cash-strapped ICANN to continue adding more and more gTLD's, until the myriad of gTLD's becomes counter-productive for the intended purpose of making Internet addressing and access easier (than dotted.decimal addressing).

Establishing a lump-sum blanket fee for Fixed Accreditation Fees, which will allow registrars to register ALL approved gTLD's without additional cost, will assure widespread availability of each gTLD to end-users and will still generate revenue for ICANN, but without a revenue-based incentive for ICANN to add more new gTLD's.

When there are 50 or more gTLD's in existence, where are you going to find a registrar willing to register your new ".museum" domain name?
