Dear ICANN Team, I hope you are well. My company received the notification regarding there will be an increment of the domain registration fee. I would like to express my disagreement on this matter as the following reasons: 1. My company and my clients are mostly small-medium businesses, the increment of the fee will create a burden for us and our clients. 2. Knowing that your company is controlling all the extensions of the domain names (such as .com, .io, .net and many more). Despite there is an agreement between Verisign and ICANN, as your customers, we think it is necessary we should be first informed about the detail of at least: - why it is increased - how the fund will be spent and for what type of benefiting improvements that will be made - the scale or percentage of increase It is appreciated ICANN could consider renegotiating the deal with Verisign or extending the effective date of the price increment at a reasonable range. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you very much. Regards, *Jordan Lau* *Gexaa Technologies*
