HI,

I have emailed several times now and not received a reply from anyone at
ICANN or the U.S. Commerce Department. After reading this rules at ICANN, I
am at a lost as to how the authorizes registrar of ICANN can lawful charge
in excess of $6.00 to register a domain name.

Does anyone at ICANN or the Commerce Department have any answer, because
this is looks like criminal fraud. Are the personnel there afraid to answer
or reply this issues. Does anyone have any answer how this is not unlawful
and criminal.

Michael Moore.

Copy sent viva register U.S. mail to the above.

that tha max fee that may be cahrged is $6.00.
