Verisign’s role is that of registry operator which is different from that if a domain name registrar.

It’s a very different relationship with ICANN and domain name owners and has basically zero leverage to set prices beyond what it costs them to operate the service and have some reasonable profit.

when is the agreement up? We really ought to tell ICANN to not do that. There should be domains that can owned for every as long as we pay the fee.

Is there a mailing list to sign up for to be notified of ICANN events like these renewal agreements?
