To whom it may concern,
This amendment is a ridiculous and blatant misuse of authority clearly meant to line private pockets. As a .com registrant of a non-profit corporation who relies on low and predictable costs to sustain my charitable initiatives this is especially concerning to me and completely unacceptable.
In summary:
- I am a registrant of a .com domain name.
- I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains.
- No one other than Verisign want increases in .COM prices.
- The current rate of $7.85 is already far more than justified.
- Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry – it has no business dictating the price.
- ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest.
Sincerely,
