If ICANN was serious about domain improvement, as I believe it is, it needs to move away from giving verisign more power over domains, including pricing. Verisign has proven that they are not in the best interest of ICANN and will eventually cannibalize and destroy ICANN if it serves their purpose as a public company. This isn't a prophecy, it's a legal requirement that Verisign has as a corporation to make the most money it can for its investors. ICANN needs to be wary that Verisign will do its best to limit or block ICANN when they can. This means that ICANN will take money from Verisign now but lose more money later when Verisign uses their money to circumvent ICANN.

Stop allowing Verisign to raise prices. Regulate the internet so that ICANN can remain in existence. We need regulation on the internet. We need a neutral third party to make things more competitive and allow for more innovation. This makes ICANN more money, more valuable, and more of a governing body than what it is becoming. You deserve better and this isn't the way.
