ICANN needs to lower their price per domain. I don 't think they originally thought so many people would buy a domain? Or, just got greedy?


If anything, it's the registries who will need to lower their cut. They have the largest margin out of ICANN, the registries, and the registrars. The registrars, however, are the ones who are going to end up hurting because the onus to check all this stuff is on us, and margins for registrars are thin as it stands.


ICANN charges 22 cents per domain. What would you propose the price be lowered to?
