Over and above anything else, there is the $25k annual registry fee plus
whatever their registry operator is charging them.<br><br>

I wonder why they are dropping it. Does it cost them more in the long
run, than using several composed domains?<br>
Kindest regards,<br><br>

It’s a .brand  zero “normal” registrants or users will be
impacted<br>
 <br>
If it was a TLD with actual registrations then it would be a totally
different matter, but it isn’t.<br>

<b>Subject: </b>[At-Large] Vistaprint is abandoning .vista<br>
 <br>
Maybe we should track these 'returns/abandonments' and in context,
[re]read the recommendations of the Subsequent Procedures WG?  <br>
 <br>
Saw a story of a domain investor account of his return on investment so
far; he's in the red with diminishing prospects.  <br>
 <br>
On top of these kind of stories that speak to the conditions in the end
user market and the 'retired and/or abandoned gLTDs, it just seems
'otherworldly' to me that in all the happy talk of new rounds, this idea
that demand has something to do with markets is largely left unmentioned.
Helluva thing!<br>
