This mandatory fee is charged by ICANN (Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers: www.icann.org). and becomes effective on November 1, 2004. It is 20 cents per domain name registration year. Thus, the fee on a one year .com registration would be 20 cents. The fee would be $0.40 for a two year registration (i.e. 20 cents times 2). Additional years would be at 20 cents per year.
