Proposed Registry Contract Flaws

[Paul Cotton <paulc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ICANN seem to be out of touch with commercial reality if they think the 
registries will not ultimately seek revenue maximisation when presented with a 
new exploitable monopololy over the underlying registrant domain name pricing 
as these proposed contracts offer them.

Combined with presumptive contract renewal, this creates the kind of scenario 
that could kill off innovation and trust.

This has been fleshed out in lucid detail by many others here already and 
certainly warrants an extended public consultation period and a slowing down of 
the rush to implement these contracts at the very least.
