Dear Oliver,<br>
<br>
thanks for pointing this out. The debate has been going on in ICANN
community for quite a while already on whether ICANN should regulate
prices or introduce some kind of pricing controls. Pricing appears
to also have a consequence on domain misuse as it has been noticed
that domain names sold at very low prices are being used as
throwaway domains for spam etc. The discussion is ongoing with no
consensus on what to do, as some oppose any kind of pricing
regulation in what is an open market, whilst others are asking that
ICANN establish rules for TLD pricing increases. The fact that some
domains are sold as premium domains for several thousand $ whilst
others are sold at $1, makes this difficult. Plus the essential
question remains: is it in ICANN's mandate to control domain name
pricing?<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>
