To whom it may concern, The recently proposed amendment 3 to the .COM registry agreement is very troubling. The proposed ability to increase the price year after year for the next decade will be detrimental to people like myself. A proposed small increase would be understandable, but what is proposed is excessive. I also think the additional ability for Verisign to operate a domain resgistrar itself while controlling the majority of .COM domains gives Verisign too much power to influence and control pricing, which will come at the expense of everyone else. On it's face, when taken into account with the $20M Verisign agreed to pay ICANN over the next five years, these amendments appear self serving and corrupt. I work in IT and web development. As a small business owner myself, I deal with purchasing domain names for myself as well as clients. These proposed amendments could really harm people like me. Thank you for your consideration, Drew Bronnenkant
