Did #ICANN make a discount for those guys?

Identity™ Digital (that's how it looks on their logo) possesses 270 #gTLD.

They must have spent hundreds of millions of dollars, most of it for great #TLD like .mortgage, .futbol or .jetzt

(They do have a few popular stuff like .rocks, .lgbt…)

Edit (I checked Wikipedia): Identity™ Digital is the rebranded name of Donuts Inc. and Afilias

Hmm le .va est géré par le "Saint-Siège", mais le Vatican gère aussi des #gTLD via le Pontificium Consilium de Comunicationibus Socialibus (c'est listé en latin chez l'IANA)

.catholic
.католик
.كاثوليك‎
.天主教

4× catho donc a priori (pas vérifié le TLD en mandarin, mais vu les 3 autres...)

No $8 million discount for dot-brands, says ICANN (domainincite.com)

ICANN has rejected a request for a 80% discount on registry fees paid by dot-brand gTLD operators.

Identity Digital is gobbling up Verisign’s back-end business (domainincite.com)

Verisign appears to be getting out of the new gTLD back-end registry services business, with Identity Digital taking over most of its dot-brand contracts....

Dear Fediverse,

The time to be (reasonably) outraged about the #ICANN policy change to un-restrict generic TLD's was 12 years ago during the public comment period.
