Hello there,
I just wanted to take a moment, after learning about these possible upcoming changes to make a few points:
For a company who is supposed to maintain fairness regarding the price points of all domains on the internet, It seems unethical to favor one specific company, not to mention take what seems to obviously be a bribe.
The internet is already dealing with numerous large scale changes, and does not need additional undesired changes like rocking the boat even more.
Thank you,
