I wish to submit my demand for greater transparency in regards to the latest agreement between ICANN and Verisign. As I understand, the price of .COM LDs is about to increase significantly, and while I do not object to small and necessary increases over time, what I do object to is the lack of transparency about these price hikes right now. I need to know more about why prices will be allowed to increase and how this extra money will be spent. I look forward to hearing from you, and a decision to rescind the proposed price hikes.
