I just received an US domain template from usdns.org for a 3rd level domain
that we delegate for. So, I called the listed contact and asked him if the
Name Consortium was charging him for the registration. He said they were
charging him "something like $10". I let him know it was really free (he
didn't know that) and pointed him to the ISI page.
Hey ISI/IANA, you might want to take a look at these characters.
