[ncdnhc-discuss] Re: Mission creep and consumer protection

[Alejandro Pisanty - DGSCA y FQ, UNAM]

James and Tim,

there is a difference between doing things in such a way that does not
harm consumers and becoming a consumer protection agency. The first is a
policy issue and I'm all ears for input. The second is mission creep, at
least unless the critics of mission creep are amenable to discuss it.

Pricing is and has been an issue. As already stated by others, competition
has been introduced with this and other purposes. At present, in gTLDs,
registry pricing has been capped and some registrars have actually brought
the price for names to nil (I won't be naive: we all know that this
happens through bundling).

Re .org future pricing, we can sure do with some input. Amazingly enough,
and though we may disagree ever so much, we should recognize that James
has introduced one of the very few voices that actually (at least intend
to) speak for the users.
