Yes, but one that many of us have been warning about for quite<br>
a while. I don't think the ICANN community can count on ever<br>
increasing revenues (and thus resources), despite what some<br>
people seem to have been thinking).<br>
<br>
Of course, some of us think the "domain business" shouldn't<br>
have been a business in the first place...<br>
