==ICANN's Primary Requirements on Registry Services==
[[ICANN]] has two primary requirements in its agreements with Registry Operators: <ref>[http://archive.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/crai-report-24oct08-en.pdf Revisiting Vertical Separation
of Registries and Registrars]</ref>
# Registries of unsponsored top level domains ([[TLD]]s) can only charge registrars to register new domain names within the TLD with the initial maximum price established by ICANN. For [[.com]], [[.info]], [[.biz]], [[.org]] and [[.name]], price cap is $6.00 for new domain name registration or renewals. They are allowed to increase the price annually based on the set percentage; 7% for .com and 10% to other unsponsored TLDs. The price cap for [[.net]] is $3.50 and the authorized increase per year is 10% while the initial maximum price for [[.pro]] is $6.00 for new registrations of third-level domain names and $6.50 for second-level domain names.
# Registry operators are not allowed to own more than 15% of registrars within the TLD
