If you guys think that this back door dealing you are proposing has no way to fail, you had better hope that Trump wins another election and a more progressive candidate doesn’t sit in that seat. You want to increase the costs of domain names for what? What is your budget and what you want to do with the free 20 mil from Verisign? You are going to cause a lot of places to just shut down as many people are not going to pay outrageous increases when you have shown 0 data as to why you need to.
 
Keep kissing the ass of Verisign, who all but bought you to this position. You are acting like a politician here and that was not a complement.
