Hello, I'm opposed to the price increase without considering answers to the following: - are these price increases commensurate with other TLD prices and increase schedules? - are other TLDs contributing their share to ICANN "related to enhancing the security, stability, and resiliency of the Domain Name System (DNS)"? - what are the plans to enhance the security, stability, and resiliency of DNS that is not already being addressed by other parties? - what economic incentive does ICANN have to improve DNS? Forgive my skepticism, but this fee increase seems to be a win-win for ICANN and Verisign, but not necessarily for anyone else. Yours, Scott -- Scott Wiersdorf scott@ipartner.net
