To whom it may concern, I am against Amendment 3 in it's entirety. Allowing Verisign to operate as its own registrar will only serve to allow Verisign to run many smaller registrars out of business, after which they can then immediately spike their prices with no consequence, due to the other rules allowing them to change prices upward. If the reasoning is that Verisign will self police, we have significant evidence that businesses do not self police when given freedom to do what they want. On the whole, it appears that you accepting $20MM, with no earmarks as to what it is going to be spent on, or how Verisign benefits from the situation, is essentially a bribe of the highest form. This situation will obviously make much more than $20MM for Verisign and result in countless losses for consumers and registrars alike. Do not allow this Amendment to pass Tyler Thrailkill Senior Software Engineer 254.424.4553
