Hello, I am writing to you today to share my doubts regarding the deal with Verisign. ICANN is one of the foundation of the Internet and in my idea a neutral organisation, an association in fact, that has the common good and the development of the Internet at the heart of its mission. While I understand that you need financing the latest deal with Verisign pretty much resemble to a $20m bribe from Verisign to get a bigger share of its control on the Internet and domains. These ginormous organisations getting close to monopolistic position or at least disproportionate power compared to other players is destroying competition and innovation. Just look at internet providers in the US! I think a lot of people are watching you, I hope you wont destroy decades of good work and a reputation for short term financial incentives.
