I am a registrant of a .com domain name. I find it highly offensive that ICANN has made itself into a business model where former officials who set policies allowing domain price increases are then able to profit off of their past decisions by buying into registrars. I fear my comments will not matter, because it seems clear that ICANN has become corrupted by a profit motive that was not supposed to exist. I hope you return to operating in the public interest. I included some language from an online form of the Internet Commerce Association below because I think they have it exactly right on this issue. Again, please return to being an organization that helps the public as originally intended.
