Hello, I’m a journalist in Lincoln City, Oregon and a small business hosting company owner. When I heard about the deal between ICANN and Verisign I was forced to uphold my Society of Professional Journalist’s ethics and ask you some questions to get all sides of the story. Namecheap is saying ICANN and Verisign did a “closed door deal.” Is this true? Did you consult anyone else before doing a deal? Is this deal finalized or close to finalization? Is it true .com domains can see a 70 percent increase over the next decade? How much of an increase to .com owners are we looking at with this deal? Can I get a copy of said deal by way of public records request? How do you think the Internet community will react to the deal? Thank you, Justin Werner
