Hello, ICANN needs to keep .com names affordable, and instead your company is putting money before your customers. Your organization that oversees domain names, announced significant changes to the contract it has with Verisign, Inc. who operate the .COM top-level-domain (TLD). Your changes were made in secret so you keep more money from consumers who have no choice but to pay more to keep their domains. These changes will have a significant impact on the Internet for years to come, and only ICANN and Verisign have participated in this decision. These harmful changes will promote censorship, as only people with wads of money will be able to purchase .com names as if they were plots of land. This is unfair, and every consumer should know the ramifications caused by your organization. Everyone on the Internet will be touched by these changes, so together ICANN should not be able to do this. Sincerely, Carol Burnet
