      Of course, the ccTLDs certainly are not done this way.  But for
new unrestricted new gTLDs, is there any reason why they should not run
as a shared registry, or subject to price regulation?

     Also, on a related issue, is there any reason a profit making
company that wanted to run a gTLD registry should be able to get a
contract similiar to the NSI contract, prehaps with a clause regarding
price caps?
