As stated in the subject, We are a small company trying to work in a global international space. Due to the domain sqottering we have to acuire and maintain about dozen or so domains in different name spaces and about quoter of them are in .COM zone. The increase in paymets for expiring domine names will place a segnificant burden on us. We as a business think that making closed under the curtain agreements that harms almost all players on the market is a bad habit close to mismanagement. We strongly disagree with such deals and are asking ICANN to revise it's decision regarding the deal(agreement) with Verisign and proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM registry Agreement. What should be done is a set of measures to free up sqoterred domain names that will bring them back to the market and generate significant new revenue to all paries such as registrators, ICANN and all businesses around the globe.
