Hello, I own a number of .COM domain names and am NOT in favour of these new amendments that benefit ICAAN and Verisign accordingly. 1. Price Increases I run a small business. It's hard enough these days to do so, and allowing year over year 7% points increase will quadruple my costs in 4 years. 2. ICANN Will Receive an Extra $20 Million Please be transparent about this 'deal'. Seems like you guys have something hide. 3. Verisign Can Operate as a Domain Registrar This will stifle competition and increase costs even more, when you won't 'bite' the hand that feeds you. 4. ICANN Ignored Previous Comments Listen to your customers and end users - instead of just making yourselves even more rich. Regards, Ed.
