[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] ICANN Price Increases are opposed by millions of Internet users

Last month, ICANN, the organization that oversees domain names, announced significant changes to the contract it has with Verisign, Inc. who operate the .COM top-level-domain (TLD). ICANN made these changes IN SECRET, without consulting or incorporating feedback from the ICANN community or Internet users. Although ICANN has a history of making similar deals behind closed doors, and also of ignoring unified opposition against such action, I believe this is counter-productive and unfair, given that *.COM domains make up 40% of all registered domain names online*. I, and millions of Internet users, are adamantly opposed this greedy price gouging and demand this price increase proposal be reversed. James Thurman
