[ncdnhc-discuss] Names Council agenda item request: discussion of wholesale price for names

[Adam Peake]

People getting agitated, it almost seems as if there's an issue here. 
Wonder if ICANN should be encouraged to review it's current wholesale 
price mechanism :-)

Milton, I do not think it's realistic to expect any significant 
number of new TLDs anytime soon. And probably no new open TLDs 
anytime. Period (I am not saying I think this is a good thing.) 
While I think you might be right about competition generally, I can't 
see it happening.

I think a  review would be extremely sensible. It would be hard to do 
well and would be something of a test for the efficacy reformed 
organization.  And a review might be fun to watch!

Thanks,

Adam
