Hello,

My name is Alvaro Rincon and I would like to express my opposition to Proposed Amendment 3.

Despite there clearly being potential financial gains to be had by raising the registration fee on .com domains, the global DNS registration system should be run primarily as a public concern. The only entities that stand to benefit from the proposed arrangement are verisign itself, at the expense

of the public. While price hikes such as this likely won't mean much to the larger business concerns that buy in bulk, it will impact the millions of

small, independent businesses and developers that rely on the system as is to make their livelihood.  At worst, this could prove yet another point of

pressure that convinces a small business to make their online presence exclusively in the Facebook walled garden and eschew the web

itself. The web, and global DNS, were envisioned to be run for the public good, and they SHOULD be run for the public good. Deals such as this are an

abdication of that mandate; short sighted profit chasing at the expense of all else. Please do not adopt this proposal.

 

Regards

Alvaro Rincon
Houston, TX 77054
