[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Horrified at the lack of public discussion or any sort of transparency

Considering how many previous negative comments were ignored, I fully expect this one to be ignored as well. However, randomly raising prices in an opaque process that is nothing more than a cash grab and futile attempt to go back to the bad old days of having a single entity controlling .com (and other) domains is a great way to guarantee eventual government legislation and possibly even oversight, to protect consumer's rights and the Internet at large, so you should reconsider your current schemes to raise prices with no obvious benefit to anyone besides ICANN and Verisign. - L.
