I would like to add my comments to the Proposed Amendment referenced above.  I am concerned that ICANN is allowing Verisign to operate as a domain registrar, which will harm competition from other registrars.  I am also unhappy with the proposed price increases, which could allow for enormous price hikes to .com domains in the next decade.  Websites are now a vital part of business/life, and the potential to have web addresses become excessively expensive is of concern.  Please consider the input from users and other domain registrars before proceeding with the proposed amendment.

Thank you,

Alison
