ICANN, the group charged with overseeing the Internet's addressing system, has submitted a report to the US Department of Commerce in which it argues that the time has come to end US oversight. In October 2006, the Department of Commerce and ICANN signed the Joint Project Agreement, a three-year pact that extended Commerce's oversight of the body, while leaving open the possibility that the group would become independent as soon as April of this year. In the new report, ICANN argues that it has already met the requirements for independence and should therefore be freed from oversight.

ICANN is getting $0.20 a year from every domain registered in .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .name, .jobs, and .mobi.
There is very little stopping them from raising that fee to $5/year.
