WTF Is This Shit? New ICANN Domain Fee - GoFuckYourself.com

SomeCreep · 11-01-2004, 01:12 PM

I was registering some domains at godaddy and just saw this...

(Its on the page right before you check out)
------------
Fee charged by ICANN

This mandatory fee is charged by ICANN (Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers: www.icann.org). and becomes effective on November 1, 2004. It is 25 cents per domain name registration year. Thus, the fee on a one year .com registration would be 25 cents. The fee would be 50 cents for a two year registration (i.e. 25 cents times 2). Additional years would be at 25 cents per year.

ICANN fees apply to .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, and .name.
--------------

Anyone have info on this? Is this a new mandatory fee with all registrars now?

Guess what, when you have thousands of domains, that new fee adds up to thousands of dollars.

if you have 1000's of domains and you even have to think about a few 1000 bucks you should get out of the domain business

If that is your conclusion regarding this new ICANN fee, then you've missed the point. If ICANN can implement a new fee like this, then they can do anything. If this new fee is mandatory, it will amount to millions of dollars a year for ICANN. That is a big deal.

Is this why I've been getting HEAPS of ICANN /whois confirmations? Making sure all my domain info is correct?

GDmit, I hate it when new fees are just 'applied' without any word of warning - shouldn't our registrars have told us about this??

No it's not. Read about WDRP: http://www.icann.org/registrars/wdrp.htm

"At least annually, a registrar must present to the registrant the current Whois information, and remind the registrant that provision of false Whois information can be grounds for cancellation of their domain name registration. Registrants must review their Whois data, and make any corrections."

I regged 2 domains a week ago and I didn't have to pay an extra 50 cent fee.

Nysus · 11-01-2004, 03:26 PM

All renewals will have 25 cents tacked on now? That'd be a lot of money.

WTF!

Registrars Approve Fee Structure in Fiscal Year 2004?05 Budget
As of this date, ICANN has received the requisite two-thirds vote from registrars approving the registrar fee structure defined in the fiscal year 2004?05 ICANN budget. As described in the Registrar Accreditation Agreement, the vote percentage was calculated by projecting fees paid by each registrar for the upcoming fiscal year and weighting the individual votes by those fees. The fee structure will become effective 1 November 2004. The fees are defined in the current version of the adopted ICANN budget for fiscal year 2004?2005 <http://www.icann.org/financials/budg...5-06oct04.html>.

Thats not really the point, spending extra $$$ on FEES just sucks

Maybe if we got a beer or a blowjob out of it, then it would be cool
