Hello ICANN,

As an Internet-focused MSP that manages hundreds of customers servers and thousands of domains I am extremely concerned by this proposal and the limited number of parties that came up with it -- namely Verisign and ICANN.

This proposal represents, in my view, a catastrophic weakening of the rules designed to keep the domain system fair and affordable.

I remember in the early 1990s when domains were hundreds of dollars per year to register simply because ONE company had a stranglehold on it (Network Solutions).  Returning to this kind of absurd price gouging is not what the Internet needs in 2020.  Especially when there is no clarify on where this money will be directed to and how it will be managed.

Any change like this needs to come from a broad discussion, not just ICANN and Verisgn. Our entire industry and by extensions our customers will be affected by this.  In 2020 that's everyone because everyone is on the Internet.
