Aloha. I am an internet user with many .com websites used personally and for business & investments. My colleagues and I are outraged that ICANN has allowed Verisign to maintain a monopoly over the .com registry. Verisign is predatory and able to unreasonably raise prices only due to their corrupt relationship with ICANN allowing no competition. Why are other potential suppliers frozen-out? Surely ICANN does not enjoy being accused of collusion and corruption, but by not allowing open competitive tender, the no-bid .com registry contract allows THEFT from me and millions of others. This multi-billion dollar gift should not be controlled by Verisign. The windfall profits enjoyed by Verisign are evidence the price of .com registrations is too high and should be lowered. ICANN has not been truly responsive to past public input about the .com and .org registry contracts. Each registry is essentially a public trust arrangement, and not the private property of Verisign or ICANN. Domain prices for .com & .org should be DECREASING. Please make it happen.
