Here is a message I received from Gandi.net regarding the .blog domain:

-----------------

Hello,

You are getting this email because you have performed a pre-order with your handle {redacted} for the domain name {redacted}.

Unfortunately, this order is currently in error, because the domain name in question has been defined as Premium by the registry. This decision is of course beyond our control and frequently corresponds to a list of common and/or connotative words that allow registered to apply special rates to them.

This means that in your case, we have placed the order in error, because the price that you initially paid is no longer the price that the registry is charging for it.

If you would like to know the price, in order to eventually purchase it, then reply to this email, so that our support team can obtain that for you from the registry.

As long as you are considering this, do not cancel your order, since this will cause you to lose your place in the waiting list.

If, however, you no longer wish to register the domain, you can cancel it from the link provided below, and your prepaid account will be refunded for the order:

Good on Gandi for providing a straightforward response. Living up to their motto.
