Hello, I wish to request that ICANN not proceed with the Verisign agreement without input from the community of owners of .COM domains. I think that you will find a more agreeable group of clients if you involve us in the decisions, and are less likely to lose clients to other domains, which may result in bigger losses than the relatively small near term gains offered by the Verisign agreement. Better for us, better for you. Best, Bob Kalus
