Here's my problem with this whole thread:
You're using a forum that was created by and is maintained by your vendor as
the means of organizing that same vendor's clients in order to influence its
pricing. In fact, you're using the very community that the vendor built
against it, and I think there are ethical problems with that. If you want
to organize RSPs, fine, but do so on your own time using your own resources.
Admittedly, you've moved the solicitation to your own site; I would request
that you cease using this list to solicit RSPs to visit that site...it's
inappropriate.

Subject: Re: domains for $7 or $8
Ross,
my hope is that we will be able to bargian with OpenSRS to reduce their
price to $8.00 per domain year. Also please note I have not made any
demands, nor has anybody else as far as I noticed. Price aside they have
been great to us, but this is business and we are all looking at our bottom
line.
Additionally, for OpenSRS to make a decision it is in our favor to stand
together. In this manner we form a bargianing group with more leverage.
Regarding the post (not from Ross) about becoming ICANN Certified the
following are required
$6,000 for application and membership feet
$10,000 for licensing of software (NETSOL STUFF)
$100,000 bond
$70,000 operating capital
and either license software to run the registration (RODOPI or some other
system) or write your own from scratch.
This is a significant task to say the least.
