To whom it may concern, I write to you in opposition of Amendment 3 to the .com Registry Agreement. Allowing wholesale prices for .com domains to rise 72% over 12 years will be a detriment to the internet community. It will hurt small players and discourage users from creating the wild a quirky internet content we all enjoy. With a 50% net margin (compared to ex Facebook's 26%) I doesn't seem to me that the increase is necessary. Verasign has had a strong return <http://api.tenkwizard.com/cgi/image?quest=1&rid=23&ipage=12716814&doc=15> and does not need to further tighten their grip on the internet for the sake of their shareholders Thanks for your consideration, Evan
