I am a registrant of multiple .com domain names. I am against the proposed price increase to .COM domains. ICANN is supposed to govern the domain name system in the public interest. Verisign is merely your manager of the .COM Registry and it has no business dictating the price. Please reject Proposed Amendment 3, or alternatively limit the price increases to 2% per year. The web, and global DNS, were envisioned to be run for the public good, and they SHOULD be run for the public good. Deals such as this constitute a clear conflict—not to mention an abnegation of the public trust—and are an abdication of that mandate; short-sighted profit chasing at the expense of the greater good.
