Registration and renewal are one figure by the document's own column, so first-year and renewal are equal on every row. Where the transfer term says the transfer renews for two years (.ai) the transfer figure is that two-year total, as printed. The document states that all charges exclude fees and taxes and that no premium names are sold. Read 2026-09-29.",
