I missed this one.

"The new deal leaves room for additional price increases, but only if they can be attributed to new ICANN policies or "documented extraordinary expense resulting from an attack or threat of attack on the security or stability of the DNS.""

Do you recall this:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/07/19/icann_crunch_meeting/

"And chief among these is the issue of ICANN's budget for 2005. Coming in at $15.8m, it is an 91 per cent increase on last year's $8.27m. Needless to say, this has raised a few eyebrows and even more hackles."

This was where ICANN wanted to increase its fees but the registrars were having none of it.

So it looks like via this contract they can levy fees to the registrars, and Verisign will extract it as part of their bill to the Registrar. No pay, no domains?
