Access to domain services is vital to the continued use and growth of the internet and modern society. Allowing a for-profit company to unilaterally decide when and by how much to raise prices is a recipe for disaster. Coupled with the secret negotiations between ICANN and Verisign, the commissions that ICANN receives on each registration, and the extra $20 million in earmarked but unenforceable funds casts strong doubt on the public benefit of this deal and casts both players as corrupt organizations pillaging from the global population.
