The ICANN is an important entity in internet infrastructure and should act with complete transparency and in the interest of the general population. It is of highest importance to keep .com domains affordable to ensure that it is possible to start new projects on the internet easily and combat consolidation of internet content onto the big platforms (facebook, youtube, instagram, etc.). Therefore I am strongly opposed to lifting the price freeze on .com domains. Furthermore, Verisign needs to be prohibited from operating as a domain registrar to keep the power balance in that market in check. Doing otherwise would put the competition at a significant disadvantage and hurt the general public by making the market less competitive. Finally, I demand that future interactions between ICANN and Verisign become public and completely transparent. Best Regards, Marten Lienen
