This is unbelievably corrupt and ICANN actually has an incentive, a monetary interest in approving it as they share in that corruption. A good example of this would be if the government suddenly decided they didn't like where you were living, so they just raise the price of your taxes until your paying more each year in house taxes than your home is even worth, hence forcing you to move out to a new location.
Mark my words. If ICANN approves this, and tiered price discrimination for TLDs does become a reality, I will personally see to it that it is the last decision ICANN ever makes as a legitimate, organized, governing body of the internet.
George - How about submitting that article to CNN and others, with the focus being on ICANN, the primary problem in these situations, and some of their past decisions. They need to go. If you want help writing more articles, I'd be glad to help.
