Hello ICANN, Thank you for reading this message. I am concerned that the proposed price increases will result in a higher barrier-of-entry for small business startups that will result in a negative effect for the economy. Also this paragraph, "The proposed LOI also provides that Verisign will contribute U.S. $20 million dollars over five years, beginning on 1 January 2021, to support ICANN's initiatives to preserve and enhance the security, stability and resiliency of the DNS, including root server system governance, mitigation of DNS security threats, promotion and/or facilitation of DNSSEC deployment, the mitigation of name collisions, and research into the operation of the DNS." I am concerned that this statement is vague on the general areas of initiatives and there is not someone to hold ICANN accountable to spend this money as promised. It sounds like Verisign is making a business decision to invest $20 million to get high returns on .COM price increase over the coming years, as opposed to donating for the wellbeing of the internet. Please reconsider the proposed Amendment for the long term benefit of internet users. Thank you, John Pirtle
