Hello,

I don’t usually take time to comment on very many issues, but this one needed my attention. That ICANN and Verisign are proposing increasing the cost of .COM domain names to ridiculous amounts, but that they are doing so in a bullying, secretive, monopolistic way is even worse.

The .COM domain extension is truly the most known and has value for every business. I strive to get these TLDs for my and my client’s businesses. Raising .COM prices and allowing bad actors (players that are squatting on perfectly good and usable .COM domains) significantly hinders all internet users from creating the next generation of great brands and expressing their voices on their own platforms.

Please do not allow ICANN and Verisign to proceed with their proposal.

Respectfully submitted, Denise Yennie
