[Comments-com-amendment-3-03jan20] Against the Proposed Amendment 3 to the .COM Registry Agreement

We are against the proposed price increase to.com domains. Our business is a .COM registrant and we manage the .COM domains on behalf of our subsidiaries (x5). The public has a vested interest in reasonably priced domain registrations to allow freedom of speech and innovation on the internet, and to allow individuals and small businesses to maintain a presence on the internet. We believe monopolies stifle innovation. Allowing Verisign to dictate the price is concerning. We believe ICANN should govern the domain name system in the public interest, not in the interest of big business only interested in profit. Nina Marie Hustad Perth, Western Australia
